Jorge Masvidal outlines what could land him another chance at UFC title
Jorge Masvidal, a highly-regarded welterweight contender in the UFC, currently finds himself in an unusual predicament having lost his last three fights in the octagon. Despite this, Masvidal recently revealed his game plan for securing a shot at UFC gold in the near future.
During his appearance on the UFC 287 official weigh-ins talk show, the former welterweight title challenger stated:
"I gotta m*rder him. I gotta dump the whole clip in his chest. I gotta leave him without life for like five minutes in the stretcher, [while] the crowds going crazy. That's it. The deeper I bury him in the ground, the more likely I'm gonna get that title shot. A bullsh*t decision or squeezing somebody until the referee breaks us up and then squeeze him again as hard as I can until the referee breaks it up [again], those victories never get you sh*t."
He added:
"But when you take somebody's soul in there, that gets the crowd going, that gets the promoters going, that gets the matchmakers going."

Notably, the Floridan has not suffered a loss to a striker since his defeat against Stephen Thompson six years ago, a testament to his remarkable skillset. While 'Gamebred' has not secured a victory in the sport since 2019, he has divulged his tactical approach that he believes will set him apart from the rest of the division and put him in the running for Leon Edwards' welterweight championship. With his vast experience and unwavering determination, Jorge Masvidal is sure to be a formidable force in his pursuit of UFC glory.
