Ever since skyrocketing in popularity in 2019, Jorge Masvidal has been a prominent voice in the MMA community. Along with the likes of Conor McGregor, he is one of the biggest PPV stars in the UFC at the moment.

The UFC’s one and only BMF title holder often speaks up on matters pertaining to the cage, as well as issues outside the cage. On his Facebook page, Masvidal often shares one-liner reactions to various interesting topics. This time it was about a series of images featuring Hollywood icon Keanu Reeves.

Jorge Masvidal reacts to Keanu Reeves’ pictures

In the post, there were several pictures of Keanu Reeves with various women. Each image also highlighted how the ‘John Wick’ star refrained from touching any of the women who were posing with him. While Reeves has a reputation for being one of the most humble, kind, and respectful celebrities, Masvidal had a different observation about the situation.

The original caption to the post read, “This man knows how to stay out of trouble.” Masvidal, who reposted it, used a similar but different caption. The 38-year-old wrote, “Man trying not to get canceled…”

Masvidal has also been an advocate against cancel culture in the past. ‘Gamebred’ threatened to quit Twitter after the platform banned Donald Trump. Hence, it should be no surprise that the former title challenger took a sly dig at cancel culture with this picture.

Cancel culture has felled many celebrities in Hollywood and the BMF used Reeves to express his frustration. While Masvidal does not have any known affiliation with Reeves, he is friends with another Hollywood A-lister, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Masvidal’s friendship with Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson enjoyed some spotlight on one of the biggest UFC stages, thanks to Jorge Masvidal. It was ‘Gamebred’ who suggested bringing in ‘The Rock’ to put the belt around the BMF title winner. The one-and-done fight between Masvidal and the legendary Nate Diaz went down inside MSG in November 2019 and ended with Johnson tying the belt around Masvidal’s waist.

In the lead-up to Masvidal‘s title fight at UFC 251, ‘The Rock’ shared a few words of support for the veteran fighter. The ‘Fast and Furious’ star said, “The legend of Jorge Masvidal is very real down in Miami, starting in the streets with street fighting, but then also continue to hone his skills.”

Johnson also commented on how Masvidal’s shift in mentality resonated with the fans. He credited this shift for his success and rise in popularity in 2019.
