Despite witnessing a one-sided loss against welterweight champion Kamaru Usman at the main-event of UFC 251, “Gamebred” Jorge Masvidal is yet to take a break from his training regime. After the headliner of UFC 251 went into jeopardy following Gilbert Burns testing positive for COVID-19, Jorge Masvidal stepped in and saved the day for Dana White and UFC fans. Masvidal, 35 went all five rounds against Kamaru Usman in the match-up. But he got dominated for all the rounds, which subsequently snapped him away from the victory.

However, Jorge Masvidal has already garnered some notable appraisals from umpteen MMA veterans, including numerous MMA fans as well. While a lot of fight fans have already voiced their approval over a rematch between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal, the American seemingly thrilled a bunch of his fans by posting a video clip from his official social media handle.
