Jorge Masvidal is one of the biggest names in MMA right now and looks like despite being a huge name, he keeps close to the ground. Masvidal is an MMA veteran. He started his professional MMA career back in 2003 and signed with the UFC in 2013.

‘Gamebred’ has always been one of the toughest fighters in the world, but his popularity skyrocketed in 2019. Masvidal took on Ben Askren in a grudge match at UFC 239 and got the win in spectacular fashion. He landed a flying knee which knocked out Askren in just 5 seconds, which is the fastest knockout in UFC history.

However, it seems like despite being a huge star, he still is very generous. A fan recently thanked Masvidal for his generosity by directly messaging him.
