Jorge Masvidal is trying to revive his career in the UFC because the welterweight contender failed to secure a victory since 2019. Since then, ‘Gamebred’ struggled to regain the tremendous form that once made him a menacing force. However, the beast finally got an opportunity to unleash his rage. As Dana White and UFC gave him a great match-up against #5 welterweight-ranked fighter, Gilbert Burns. Therefore, the athlete with a Cuban heritage prepared a sweet and sour message for his opponent and shared it with all MMA fans and followers. Despite his warning, neutral fans have a divisive take on this fight.
