Jorge Masvidal almost got into it with a 17-year-old fight fan who thought it would be a good idea to push ‘Gamebred’ in the back whilst he wasn’t looking.
The BMF titlist was in attendance at the Amalie Arena on Saturday night to watch Jake Paul improve his professional boxing record to 5-0 by spectacularly knocking out Tyron Woodley.
At some point during the event, a fan decides it is a good idea to push Masvidal while his back is turned. Of course, the UFC fighter didn’t take it too well and tried to go after the youngster who instantly began to plead for forgiveness.
Masvidal’s manager took to social media to explain why this altercation took place.
“Kid decides to push masvidal while masvidal was facing the ring,” Abraham Kawa wrote. “Quickly realizes that’s a big no no when masvidal turns around and starts screaming “I’m 17, please I’m 17” with his hands up. Kids I tell you smh”
Jorge Masvidal Received A Call Out From The Nights Big Winner
Post-fight, Paul sent a plea to Dana White to allow him to fight some of the biggest stars in UFC. Masvidal was part of a four-man list of fighters the YouTuber was hoping to face inside the boxing ring.
“I just knocked out a five-time UFC champion and embarrassed your whole company,” Paul said. “Please lemme get Kamaru Usman, Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal, Conor McGregor, because I’m gonna embarrass them too. I promise you that, Dana. I promise you that.”
‘Gamebred’ is of the opinion that Paul cannot afford his purse and instead advised the former Disney actor to sign a one-fight deal with the UFC.
“Now to address that little b***h, what’s his face, that f***er, listen man, you can’t f***ing afford me. You understand? Me and all the names that you mentioned, you can’t afford. I know… what you pay,” Masvidal said. “You talk a big game. You say 50 million dollars, you have 100 million dollars. Bulls**t! If that was the case, [Floyd] Mayweather would have took the fight with your b***h a** but he hasn’t because you don’t generate that type of revenue.”
“You can’t afford me to come over. So, let me tell you a little secret about me then though, I fight for money or I fight the best in the world. You’re neither, you understand? I know it hurts… I’ll tell you what? Come on over to the UFC, sign on one-fight deal, let Dana [White] give you whatever the f**k he’s gotta pay you, I’ll break your jaw in front of the whole world, man. I promise you that. If you really want it, come get it.
