News Jorge Masvidal Released From Active Roster due to Retirement

[TheAlliance]

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

Not the one where he knocked around Nate Diaz and won the BmF with the rock presenting him the belt?

 

[Sweater of AV]

He retired, no? Not particularly surprising. Now he can focus on giving us great fights.

 

[Luthien]

BKFC is his destiny.

 

[spooNN]

Masvidal vs McGregor was such a missed opportunity.

There is still hope. Maybe in 2-3 years well see them face each other in BKFC.

1 step closer to a Paul

You mean that fake belt he got for beating a guy that fought a weight class below him, then went on a 4 fight losing streak, then retired.

 

[Pierced7681]

Pretty sure Jake Paul already has a fight lined up with some other former-UFC delusional bum.

yea but they’re expecting Paul to beat Diaz and then he’s gonna call out Mas, bank on it

 

[ookii]

Back to jumping unknowing people in the street

 

[Espresso]

On to bigger and better things

I wanna go

 

[Fedor5723]

Hope he does BKFC

I don't wanna see the Jorge who fought Burns fight again he's done. Maybe against Diego Sanchez.

Doesn't matter. That finish was beautiful.

So was his finish of Till.

So was his dismantling of Nate.

I don't know why people like you cause things "fluke." He kneed a wrestler in the face when he shot for a takedown. he trained for it. he practiced it. he prepared for it. that isn't a fluke. how do you watch MMA and not know a single damn thing about it?

Like...

yeah, Nate the lightweight. Because Jorge never fought at lightweight.

...

How!?!

 

[Karl_Hungus]

Zuffa didn't want to pay him what the contract dictated anymore, and Jorge only wanted shitle tots, so it makes sense.

 

[SCTwins]

I could see him really shining there.

Jorge has a solid barber.

 

[Sticko]

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.

I don't think the UFC released Jorge.

The UFC Roster Watch is a bot that notices when fighters are removed from the UFC fan rankings pool. Since Masvidal is retired the UFC has no reason to keep him in there. Doesn't necessarily mean they'd let him fight anywhere else.

 

[TheBulge]

He is tired of all the crotch sniffers on top of him. Time for Masvidal to go full circle. Back to his roots, which were deez handz(Mike Perry reference). Should be a fun ride.

 

[NationWideNinja]

Masvidal vs McGregor was such a missed opportunity.

Bizarre that the UFC didnt try everything they could to make that fight happen. A red hot streaking Masvidal at the peak of his star power versus Conor McGregor. That would be the biggest MMA fight ever and would have elevated the sport to an even higher level than where its currently at

 

[Rank Squatter]

Masvidal vs McGregor was such a missed opportunity.

dont buy that for one minute

he went 1-1 with Nate Diaz ..lol

gtfo

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Masvidal vs McGregor was such a missed opportunity.

It'll still happen to headline the next Miami card, bet dollars to doughnuts on it

 

[CC27]

He wasnt released. He retired.

 

[Tweak896]

WW is healing slightly. I like Masvidal, but as a fun fights fighter and not occupy rankings.
