Despite a few setbacks on his resume, many consider Jorge Masvidal as one of the best fighters in the UFC. He has delivered some exciting fights in the promotion. Furthermore, ‘Gamebred’ holds a record for the fastest knockout in the history of UFC. Even his coach Mike Brown believes he has grown as a fighter and has the highest fight IQ in the UFC.

In an interview with MMA Fighting, Brown talked about Masvidal’s training and a few other things. He said, “Absolutely. I think he’s going to Vegas next week to talk to UFC brass and square things away. But he’s in the gym all the time, training getting better evolving improving I mean, that’s kind of that’s what he does.”

He added, “I mean, I have said this a million times, but I think you know he’s got maybe the highest fight IQ of anybody I know and He’s always adding new weapons to the arsenal always. I think that’s his best asset, that he has so many skills. And he has those skills for a reason. Because he just knows how to hone in on a group of ideas and techniques and work, work, work, work, work until he’s got him down and he can pull them off in a fight and I don’t think anybody does it better than him.”

Considering his old feud with Leon Edwards, the promotion was about to set up a fight between both the fighters. However, ‘Rocky’ denied the fight as ‘Gamebred’ was on a slump. Nevertheless, the UFC proceeded and booked Edwards vs Masvidal for UFC 269 in December.
