Does Masvidal go by....

[MMAProfessional]

"George" or Jorge? The UFC seems to be running with "Whore Hay" but if you watch his street fights his friends call him George a'la Askren. Even his Hispanic friends call him George even though Jorge in Spanish is Whore Hey. Muy rara.

 

[drbolony]

We can get rid of the confusion and just call him Street GOAT

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Depends if you want to call him Journeyman George or Hornyman Jorge

George

Jorge

 

[EVIL WAR GOD]

Whore hey

 

[Sweater of AV]

You call him when you want to be baptized.

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

Its george but he likes being called a whore.

 

[blaseblah]

The Spanish pronunciation is correct, he's just used to white people not knowing how to say his name.

I've heard im also clarify his last name to he said it's not MOSS-VIDAL... it's MAH-VIDAL.. anyone else heard this? He said it in embedded, he emphasized how the S is silent in his last name, no one seems to call him that though.

 

[charalsias]

It's Mr. Masvidal for you TS.

He’s answered to both for as long as he’s been fighting. In the backyard videos with Kimbo he answered to George. In Strikeforce Mauro called him Jorge. Now that everyone is extra woke though I think George is suddenly no longer acceptable.

It’s not white people calling him George in the backyard videos.

Most Cubans will not pronounce the /s/ sound, or turn it into a /h/. It's part of their particular variety of Spanish. Pronouncing Jorge is way too difficult for the average English speaker because it's a hard sound they are not used to.
