Jorge Masvidal's father made sure he was in attendance in one of his son's earliest bouts.

During a recent episode of the Bad Guy Inc, Chael Sonnen narrated the story and stated that Jorge Masvidal Sr. violated parole so that he could watch his son compete live. Here's what Sonnen said:

"We were in Trenton, New Jersey. Huge show! Eddie Alvarez main evented that night. Masvidal fights on that card and Masvidal wins. Don't forget that this is on television. Even if it's going to be delayed, it's on television. And Masvidal would just like to thank one person which is his dad. [He] said his father is on payroll in Florida and he's not he's not allowed to leave the state, but he snuck out just to watch his little boy. The camera cuts over and puts old man Masvidal on TV. And he took it, ' Not only a crime but he documented the crime, of which he was outed for said crime by his victorious son. And again, I'm there with Matt Lindland. This time we happened to be in the back, and we are dying jaws on the floor."

Watch Chael Sonnen narrate the whole story in the video below:

Jorge Masvidal Sr. was sentenced to 22 years in prison on account of drug charges, of which he spent 18 years in jail. 'Gamebred' regularly visited his father in prison and developed a good bond with him over the years.
