News Jorge Masvidal Released From Active Roster due to Retirement

[AmbassadorFright]

I'm sure this wasn't a major surprise to anyone

 

[Pechan]

Free to "heal from some injuries he had for a long time" and unretire.

 

[Liverkick-king56]

Masvidal vs McGregor was such a missed opportunity.

 

[PlasticFishBowl]

The BMF going 0-4 once winning the belt, including a grudge match where his rival humiliated him is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.

 

[Pierced7681]

Likely the ufc cut him so he can go do celebrity boxing with Jake paul

 

[infinite666]

As if he didnt retire or something

 

[gosuasus]

This is contrary to the UFC's policy of freezing the contracts of fighters who retire, so that they can't go elsewhere to make money. Good on Jorge.

His best fight in the UFC was literally that fluke knee on Ben Askren. Same guy that got KO'd by a youtuber.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

Respect to the man on his long fighting career. It was inevitable. He's on the wrong side of 30 these days.
Props for his meteoric rise to superstardom for that brief period later in his career. Dude deserved that after all those years even if he is bit of a scum bag

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

What a legend.

I look forward to him knocking Paul out after Nate fights him.

 

[zarboi]

Heal up my boy

[dogsdonutsdragons]

another former lightweight for the paul trophy case.

 

[Luthien]

Hope he does BKFC

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Masvidal vs McGregor was such a missed opportunity.

Yes.

Conor succesfully ducked that.

It would have been the biggest fight in UFC history

 

[Kenny Powerth]

He retired…..

Which means sherdog will keep him in the rankings for 2 years or something random

 

[SCTwins]

 

[Izzysexboyfriend]

Wait why would the ufc release him

 

[Local Plata]

Masvidal vs McGregor was such a missed opportunity.

Not it wasn't, it was a blatantly avoided like the plague non-possibility. It would be more likely Conor faced an actual contender before getting a title shot than fighting someone like Jorge Masvidal...which would never happen either.

Conor earned his title shot against Aldo
