Former UFC welterweight, Jorge Masvidal appears as a runway model as part of New York Fashion Week.

Many fighters struggle with life beyond the cage and while Masvidal has teased a potential comeback, the former BMF champion seemed to be filly his time well. As well as promoting his bareknuckle MMA promotion, which recently pitted Junior dos Santos and Fabricio Werdum against each other – the 38-year-old also just recently made his catwalk debut.

It has been a little over five months since Masvidal retired following his defeat to Gilbert Burns at UFC 287. Following the loss, ‘Gamebred’ would retire in the cage, a slightly deflated would lay his gloves on the canvas as customary.

“I love all of you. Thank you everybody for watching. This is where I started my career,” said Masvidal. (H/T Mail)

“Sometimes your favourite basketball player ain’t got that three-pointer no more, your favourite quarterback loses that rifle. It’s been 20-something years. I’m a multi-millionaire. I had nothing when I started. I’m out.”

Jorge Masvidal teases comeback against Justin Gaethje

Masvidal is officially retired and seems to be enjoying the comforts that come with it. However, like many before him, the spirit that took him so far is still very much alive. He has recently spoken about returning to face Justin Gaethje, who recently defeated Masivdal’s friend and teammate Dustin Poirier to take home the BMF title.

“I think he should defend it against me,” Masvidal said. “That’s what should happen. If I was to come back to the sport. That’s a big if. I never knock off coming back to fight, ‘cause I love fighting. I love fighting. It’s my favourite pastime, It’s my favourite sport, it’s my way of life. So I can never say I’m not gonna fight.” (H/T MMA News)

Conor McGregor slams Justin Gaethje for rejecting Jorge Masvidal BMF clash: ‘He fights at 155, get in the sauna’

Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has hit out at former interim lightweight champion, Justin Gaethje for his refusal to entertain a symbolic BMF title unifier with inaugural holder, Jorge Masvidal, pointing to the Miami native’s prior fighting history at 155lbs. McGregor, a former undisputed featherweight and lightweight champion under the banner of the UFC, […]

McGregor, a former undisputed featherweight and lightweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been sidelined from the Octagon since he headlined UFC 264 back in 2021, suffering a doctor’s stoppage TKO loss against Dustin Poirier after he fractured his left tibia and fibula.

As for Gaethje, the former interim lightweight champion headlined UFC 291 against common-foe, Poirier in the pair’s long-awaited rematch.

Striking symbolic BMF spoils back in July in Salt Lake City, Utah, Gaethje avenged a knockout loss of his own to Poirier with a thunderous second round high-kick KO in The Beehive State’.

And in the immediate aftermath of the rematch, Gaethje was targeted for a BMF title unifier by inaugural gold holder, Masvidal, claiming he would entertain ending his retirement from the sport to fight the Arizona native in a comeback.

Rejecting that notion of a unifier against Masvidal next, Gaethje cited the Floridian’s recent history competing at the welterweight limit, for the reason a bout would likely fail to come to fruition.

Conor McGregor urges Justin Gaethje to fight Jorge Masvidal in the future

However, as far as McGregor is concerned, Gaethje should consider a BMF championship fight with Masvidal, most definitely.

“The most un-BFM shout ever,” Conor McGregor posted about Justin Gaethje on his official X account. “He fights at 155 (pounds). Lol. B*tch. Get into the sauna, b*tch.”

The most un-bmf shout ever. He fights at 155. lol. Bitch. Get into that sauna, bitch. https://t.co/X2Ky9yLreC

Himself previously targeting an immediate return to the Octagon against Gaethje himself, a clash with McGregor has been on the mind of the Arizona striker, admittedly, who revealed that he had often dreamt about the possibility of fighting McGregor – and subsequently ending the Dubliner’s illustrious career.

Jorge Masvidal cements UFC retirement after Justin Gaethje scoffs at BMF clash: ‘I got fights to promote’

After seeing calls for a potential BMF championship fight with recent symbolic title winner, Justin Gaethje shut down, inaugural gold holder, Jorge Masvidal has now cemented his retirement from combat sports, claiming he would put all his attention into promoting fights under his Gamebred FC banner. Masvidal, a former two-time welterweight title challenger under the […]

In the time since, Masvidal has switched full focus to promoting his bare knuckle mixed martial arts organization, Gamebred FC – hosting a rematch between former UFC heavyweight champions, Junior dos Santos and Fabricio Werdum over the course of the weekend.

However, weighing up potential comebacks against past-foe, Ben Askren, as well as the above-mentioned, Gaethje – whom he strapped BMF spoils on back in July, Masvidal was immediately shut down by the latter, who poked fun at his apparent weight gain.

Jorge Masvidal confirms an extended retirement from MMA competition

And firmly shutting the door on a potential comeback – even if a UFC 305 event takes place in his Floridian postcode, Masvidal insisted he was done competing in combat sports.

“I’m retired, bro,” Jorge Masvidal told Middleeasy during a recent interview. “I got fights to promote and stuff, and I love MMA, just right now, I just retired, man. I still try to go to the gym everyday, but that competition and a lot of the things that come with it, I just did it for 20 years.”

“Bro, I love it, it’s my favorite sport in the world, this is my favorite thing,” Jorge Masvidal explained. “But just right now, nah, I ain’t fighting nobody right now.”

Twice challenging former pound-for-pound number one, Kamaru Usman for undisputed welterweight gold in 2020 and 2021, respectively, Masvidal would first drop a short-notice decision loss to the Nigerian, before suffering a thunderous second round KO in the pair’s title rematch.

Justin Gaethje laughs off rumors of fight with ex-UFC star Jorge Masvidal: ‘He looks like he weighs 240 pounds’

Newly-crowned BMF titleholder, Justin Gaethje has been the subject of a call out from the inaugural symbolic champion, Jorge Masvidal despite his April retirement, however, insists the possibility of a UFC showdown between him and the Floridian and slim to none. Gaethje, the current BMF championship holder, earned the symbolic belt at UFC 291 back […]

Gaethje, the current BMF championship holder, earned the symbolic belt at UFC 291 back in July in Salt Lake City, Utah – defeating Masvidal’s training partner and former interim lightweight champion, Dustin Poirier with a hellacious second round high-kick KO.

For Masvidal, the Miami native called time on his storied mixed martial arts career back in April after the co-main event of UFC 287, suffering a fourth consecutive loss in the form of a decision defeat against Brazilian contender, Gilbert Burns.

Justin Gaethje shuts down idea of BMF title fight with Jorge Masvidal

However, claiming he would snap his retirement from combat sports if Gaethje welcomed the possibility of defending the symbolic title against him, Masvidal’s claims have since been shutdown by the Arizona native, who pointed to the weight discrepancy between them.

“Sounds fun,” Justin Gaethje said during a Q&A session ahead of UFC 293 in Australia. “But I have one goal, it’s the undisputed championship. I have plenty of time after that to fight those fights. I don’t think [Jorge Masvidal is] ever coming back. He looks like he weighs 240 pounds. I fight at 155 pounds, I’m sure he’d want to fight at 170 [pounds].”

Justin Gaethje says a BMF title fight against Jorge Masvidal "sounds fun," but doubts the weights would align.

Ex-UFC star Jorge Masvidal laughs off rivals Jake Paul, Nate Diaz ability: ‘I’d hurt them dudes, like bad’

Former two-time UFC welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal has scoffed at last month’s professional boxing match between the outspoken, Jake Paul, and his former mixed martial arts opponent, Nate Diaz, claiming he would “hurt” the pair if he switched to boxing. Masvidal, a veteran former welterweight title challenger under the banner of the UFC, called […]

Masvidal, a veteran former welterweight title challenger under the banner of the UFC, called time on his storied mixed martial arts career back in April following a co-main event slot at UFC 287, suffering a fourth consecutive loss in a decision defeat against Gilbert Burns.

Switching his sole focus to promoting with Gamebred FC in the time since, Masvidal had, however, weighed up a potential return to the Octagon at UFC 300 next year – in the form of a rematch with former-foe and ex-UFC contender, Ben Askren.

Jorge Masvidal pokes fun at the ability of Jake Paul and Nate Diaz

And sharing his thoughts on August’s boxing showdown between Ohio native, Paul and ex-UFC contender, Diaz – which the former won in a rather one-sided unanimous judging win, Masvidal claimed he would simply “hurt” the pair if he boxed them.

“I get with the skill set, they’re not going to be boxers,” Jorge Masvidal told MMA Fighting. “They’re not going to move like boxers, because they’re not boxers by craft either. They could’ve been meaner. That’s why watching that fight live, I was like, ‘I’m mean for real, bro.’ A lot of the guys in boxing are for real.”

“I didn’t have the feeling when I left that night,” Jorge Masvidal explained. “I didn’t feel like they were trying to kill each other, you know? Or hurt each other, or apply the sweet science to it’s highest mastery. I would hurt those dudes, bro. Like bad. I was there live, I seen it, man. It’s a different speed. Nate’s seen it – you can ask Nate about the speed. If Jake was having trouble [with Diaz], you know what I’d do to Jake, man.”

Jorge Masvidal teases UFC return against Justin Gaethje for BMF title: ‘I think he should defend it against me’

Former UFC welterweight, Jorge Masvidal teases a potential comeback fight against Justin Gaethje.

For as long as there has been professional fighting, there has been those who have struggled to walk away form it. Fighting becomes a huge part of their identity, so once a career ends (or when it should end) it leaves a huge whole in their life and leaves them trying to figure out who there are beyond something which has enveloped most of their life.

This is something that the recently retired Masvidal may be dealing with as the former ‘BMF’ champion recently discussed the possibility of a return to action.

The 38-year-old retired following his unanimous decision loss against Gilber Burns in April of this year.

“I just don’t feel the same way when I get there,” Masvidal stated during his retirement speech. “It’s been 20 long years, I love you all.”

Jorge Masvidal calls out Justin Gaethje

Now in a recent interview with ESPN, Masvidal teased a potential cash with the newly crowned BMF champion, Gaethje.

I never knock off coming back to fight, ‘cause I love fighting. I love fighting. It’s my favourite pastime, It’s my favourite sport, it’s my way of life. So I can never say I’m not gonna fight.” (H/T MMA News)

Gaethje scored an impressive knockout win over Dustin Poirier last month at UFC 291, earning himself the BMF title, which was created for Masvidal’s headlining fight against Nate Diaz.
