Jorge Masvidal has more to give the world a battle.
When the UFC announced her return to Miami for a huge UFC card on April 314, Masvidda felt that returning to his homeland was a reliable opportunity to end his short -lived retirement of MMA, which began in April 2023 after his headliner in Miami in UFC 28. Masvidal, 40, showed on Monday in Monday in Unacowned’s Salpel’s Optance -lepeelne that he had fallen in UntemelTem that he fell into UntemelTem that he fell on the 3rd, that he fell into Untemle, that he fell on the 3rd, that he fell on the 3rd, that he fell on the 314th BMF champion. He plans to fight again in the UFC – and now he has an old rival Leon Edwards, firmly in his sights.

“I don’t mean a date,” Maswidal said. “I just shoot Leon’s ass. Let’s go fix it, go, take it, throw it like men, defeat your ass, and that’s all. I am not younger. “
Masvidal and beef Edwards shamefully began after their victories over Darren Till and Gunnar Nelson in the main and competitions in the events of the UFC London in 2019. During the interview after the battle with Laura Sanko, Masvidal was in the middle of action when Edwards passed. Two briefly exchanged words from the distance before Masvidal walked towards Edwards and hit him with a quick sequence of unexpected blows – or the famous combination of “Three pieces with soda”, as Masvidal invented.
Despite many discussions after that, the match between the two rivals in the welterweight has never been implemented. Masvidal climbed a superstar with his capture of the BMF title, followed by two unsuccessful shots of the title against the then champion Kamaru Usman. Edwards eventually earned his own title shot and turned Usman years later. Masvidal monitored the division, including Edwards, who had just got into his first series in the world after blows in the back to the back to the now champion of Belala Muhammad and Sean Brady. The last result came to the last UFC London event when Brady provided a finish performance.

“He surprised many people,” Brady said Maswid about the victory. “The guy is hard, like a dog on the bones. He falls into strict positions and continues to advance on gas. I think that Leon felt this pressure, and just broke, like: “Dude, I’m in a bad place here, I need to get out of this without losing tons of energy.” It seemed that in some exchanges he was simply stunned.
“I always thought that he was more likely an athlete than something, you know? He is a great athlete, he is a phenomenal athlete. He does not look like “bite your robe”, type of fighter. If the battle does not go in his way, he goes more and more to the wall.
“Anything, dude. No one is perfect. I just know that I will tear his ass, a bro, ”Maswidal concluded.
Although he is still under the UFC contract and is ready to return, Masvidal does not have an official plan stated for his return. He just knows that it will be in 2025 and will not be an accidental, meaningless match.

Masvidal was not necessarily interested in any place outside Edwards for his returned struggle, but Rocky now got into a similar category, like his largest rival, Kolbi Covington.
“You know that Leon is on the street. I see him right here, I will do it in the parking lot, ”said Masvidal. “For Leon, there is no time, baby. Whatever you do.
“B ****-AST COLBI, this is also another. Whenever I see this guy. I saw the main points (about his recent struggle against Joaquin Buckley). I have not seen all this, I liked it, a bacent-good guy. I’m not surprised. (Covington is a lot of drugs, due to what I hear, a man, so he insists on catching up.
It was a tough sled in competition for Masvid from the moment of its rise in UFC glory. He lost his last four UFC fighting before retirement, and then was defeated by the majority decision in the match with Nate Diaz in July 2024.

Gamebred said that his first box experience since 2005 has not been perfect, although he did not close the door at another boxing match down the line, and KSI even approached them and was not mistaken in boxing at the beginning of this year.
“Boxing is a complex, cunning sport,” said Masvidal. “I love boxing itself, but boxing policy is a lot of things in boxing, which are difficult. I love MMA, dude. This is my most funny thing. Not that I would not do other boxing matches. I would if I were right.
“(I) never (never received) an official deal (from the boxing MISFITS). KSI is like a million people, they contacted the deal that I *** laughed in front of the bank. If it was their proposal, I said: “Well, we will never work.” You must pay for this dance party.
“If KSI wanted his ass to be, she sent a real deal,” he continued. “What they proposed was like I was in the UFC for two years, and I was cut out or something like that. It was crazy. I will not even entertain these morons, dude. These influential faces. I could do this when I like 50. Right now, if I fight with Leon, a real fighter, I would have done it. Complete, I mean that he is a real assembly, and not this Flaracial Championist. ”

No matter how he missed the competition, Masvidal is still a big fan, first of all, and, like the rest of the MMA community, he hopes that the big fight in heavyweight between UFC champions John Jones and Tom Aspinal will reach life.

“This is a fight that I want to see bad, a bro,” said Masvidal. “I want to see this battle. Jones does what he needs to play him, get as much money as possible. Maybe this will happen, perhaps this will not happen, but I want to see it. I do not want it to be (Francis) Nganna. Damn it.
“When John Jones was going to fight (Maurisio)“ Shogun ”(Rua),“ Shogun ”could look at himself:“ I am not going to fight John Jones. Young killer. If I beat this guy, there will be no more. And Shogun gave Jones this chance. Explosive, good reflexes.
“I think he will cause some problems with John if he cannot remove this guy,” Maswidal continued. “It will not be easy. Can you argue against John Jones? I don’t know. If you are smart, damn it.
