Masvidal is set to face Gilbert Burns next in the co-main event at UFC 287 on Saturday, April 8.

#UFC #UFC287
His 2019 was about as good of a year as you can get. He KO’d 2 top contenders and had the big money fight with Nate.
Was Ben Askren a top contender back then?
@@warrenstringham415nope😂
It was an exciting run. He believed in himself, people believed in the possibility, and that can carry you far in most places in life.
@@warrenstringham415 idk but he sure was a good wrestler with potential for sure until you know what happened
@@warrenstringham415 yea AT THE TIME. then we quickly found out that wasn’t really the case
Jorge's flying knee against Askren will always be the most legendary KO in the UFC.
There’s been a few but its right at the top for me too. I’d say the Mcgregor vs Aldo ko just beats it but the recent Leon head kick we saw is up there in my book. It’s a tough one.
💯
@@jick7407 knee always going to be on the top
*I can’t believe these highlights were almost 4 years ago, time flies :(*
💯
Fr man 😔
No change with jorge ever since
And we just gained four years of our ages just like that
dooens't even feel real man I remember the ads to the Till vs Masvidal fight on bt sport lol
UFC 🤝 never letting us forget masvidal in 2019 😂
Dude 😂 ong
2019 was definitely the best version of Jorge. Hope he can get back to form
Those opponents helped compared to his past few opponents. It’s all about the comp.
Best version aka bum opponents
No
@@flyingmonke darren till wasnt
That ship's sailed pal..
How Nate didnt go out from that soccer kick ill never know. His head even went down into the shot!!!!
Bro he butchered Nate 😂 and really I do not know how Nate ate that but I don't think it's good for the brain I hope his OK in his late age
Nate was coming back but the doctors screwed that up!
@@prince-xw3ip Nate was getting his ass beat that whole fight 😂
@@REDZ28won Hahaha. Very funny.
Nate is just built different same thing with the Leon fight, he was getting slapped around all fight until the last round where he almost knocked Leon out. You can never count him out
Jorge Masvidal *always made weight* for all his fights win or lose.
People give Masvidal a lot of flack but up until Usman he rarely lost by finish. He’s a vet thru & thru and fights anyone. A prime example that fans will have your back one year then dip out the next.
It's been 4 years 😂
@@darrenhuntington7319 My point is that the year when he KO’d Askren and Till, everyone supported him. So much so he was able to be on a video game cover with Izzy. The minute he lost to Usman the fan support went away, never got it back cuz those fans weren’t real to begin with.
People in general are fake lol fuck the fans
@@SOLE_II_SOUL I think it was more to do with being mauled by Mr Maga and then suckerpunching him and claiming tough man status for it
@Chris Haslam nope that's why he has more fans Colby needed to lose his teeth for his shit mouth
This was a great year for Jorge and for the UFC at the time. Great effort by Jorge to finally get a shot at the belt.
Oh wow, that flying knee Knockout was a great - I’ve never seen that before
Fastest ko in history I believe
@@97sirdelsol correct
Masvidal needs this next win badly💯
Well he had about 0,1% chance to win against burns
No doubt. It should be a good style matchup
Supernecessary
What he needs and whats gonna happen are 2 different things tho.
@@sallgoodman2323 Bad matchup ...burns will wrestle him out
Jorge is a example of someone who isn't a elite kickboxer or muay thai striker, but is a phenomenal mma striker. It took me a while to even figure out with that means, but something a commentator just said in this video helped me clarify what I meant by that. He said something to the effect of unusual entries into striking range. Jorge has great Boxing, and he has honed in on specifc probing strikes to use just to enter in to his boxing range. And he's honed in on specifc power strikes that he spams out of nowhere. The strikes he throws outside of boxing, are not how a kickboxer or a muay thai fighter would blend strikes in combination, or camouflaging one strike with another. He probes with light kicks to get weird entries into boxing range and then boxes and breaks up his punches with power strikes, outside of the rhythm, cadence and connectivity of a typical combination. He's bizarre.
Honed.
The blows come from unexpected places
Yes sir
Mad break down, fuckn love Gamebred, he’s a violent motherfucker
honed
Masvidal needs this W supernecessary!
Got bad news for you bro lol
Gilbert is in a different tier entirely lol.
George gets mopped
Jorge know this fight means everything I’m sure we will see a monster
@@robertfixescars4446 yes everything is on the line.
2019 Jorge is one of my favorite fighters of all time
Same here
💯
👍👍👍yes
2019 was such a good year overall 😢
I agree. Before all the COVID stuff and the war in Ukraine, with everything getting expensive. Overall looking back 2019 was a great year for me too and it just seemed so simple and fun. But hey, live can still be great 💪
For the most part.
2019 was definitely his year!
Not when Izzy beat the GOAT, had FOTY w/ Gastelum, & won a REAL belt in front the largest crowd in UFC history
Isreal🥱 *cough* *cough* adesayna the best year
Funny cause they gave him the award for fither of the year 2019.
@@robertfixescars4446 💯
@@A_Valeska ya i never said it wasn't his year as well
That right overhand Masvidal landed on Diaz is just beautiful man, I love his boxing
The fact that he was fighting in backyards with Kimbo, then headlining PPV's was awesome.
He's headlined 3 PPVs. Two failed title shots and arguably the worst PPV main event of 2022. All three times he got absolutely mopped. Yall dickrider fans are weird.
I remember seeing him on KZhead and one day I see him fighting pro what an amazing story
💯
Really can’t get much better than this, hell of a year and hell of a run.
“This fight clock is brought to you by modeLOOOOOOOOOO” 😂
2019 was Jorge Masvidal’s year, amazing win over Darren Till in UK, the iconic 5 second flying knee KO of Ben Askren and the big money fight against Nate Diaz, headlining MSG, winning the BMF belt, what a year for Gamebred 👏👏👏👏
Nate Diaz is like a lion... what can we possibly say. ...
He was almost at the top of the mountain . Hoping he comes back in a big way Saturday.
Burns is gonna school him
Burns is gonna knock him out.
Bro why is everyone counting this man out so badly he has good striking great range decent TD he has a great chance against a shorter heavy hitting BJJ fighter
@@sams5746 Burns is elite. Masvidal is not. Sorry.
@@nextlvlroy their both elite I’m not saying burns is not
Ready to see Masvidal Return!!!!
Still hasn't woken up from Usman KO
@@MrClaus. stupid comment if u r so sure Dorito wins bet some grands on it don’t just talk about it.
@@MrClaus. haha this guy
Lol
It's just going to be a repetition of Burns vs Wonderboy
People hate but I'm still glad he had his run and was able to change his family’s life.
Hell yeah. He changed his career at a time when things were just not going his way, came back refreshed and ran with it
Kudo's
💯
Had to really dig in the archives for some Masvidal highlights lol.
@@beaualoevv you 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@beaualoevv I mean I wasn't knowcked out by Usman cold
@@redmarine2717 It's a Troll 😂
@@jaydaniel2145 seems like you’re in love with him
@@beaualoevv going through a whole shift without getting a single stain on it. Now that’s a highlight.
Jorge Masvidal hasn’t beat an active UFC fighter in 10+ years
He just fought twice for the belt once vs the no1 contender and he has a chance of fighting for the belt if he beats Gilbert
Not the worst but people like u are still hating because you’re in conflict w yourself that’s the only reason people hate and get angry. You’re at war with yourself. Focus on you brother Gamebread is super successful don’t make excuses make changes. Peace.
2019 was Jorge’s year but he’s not the same anymore.
he’s not fighting Askren, Till and Diaz anymore either so that doesn’t help his cause.
@@larrytate1657 askren was undefeated atthe time and till was number 3. What are you smoking
@@ron.hertzbergyea and he’s lucky he caught him with that knee or he would have probably been wrestled to a decision loss.
Getting knocked the f out really changed him, look at Gastelum and all that damage he received from jacare
Yeah that ship's sailed got lost and still of the radar..
Journeyman Jorge
He gets tricky on the feet, but burns is just on another level
@@beaualoevv nah my son
@@beaualoevv keep dreaming, like yo daddy did when he got knocked tf out by Usman.
@@beaualoevv Ok but I do. Masvidal is dead
@@rdebaron It's a troll, Don't waste your time 👍🙂.
@@jaydaniel2145 dont worry, this is my son and i take responsebilty, havent raised him well.
Meh. Honestly lost alot of respect for him. Used to be a big fan. Still like his fighting, its just his attitude and mindset in certain situations for awhile there really turned me off.
The most Scared Title holder in the UFC's history, turned down putting his title on the line 😂
@@beaualoevv Ok Wannabe PETER GRIFFIN 😂😂😂. We're all bored of you, atleast PETER GRIFFIN is Funny 😂.
@@SupaSaiyanGoku I completely agree 👍.
@@beaualoevv You failed, we are ALL Laughing at you being a not very good TROLL 😂😂.
Am sure somewhere somehow someway masvidal doesn't give a flying knee fk dawg suck it up though..😅
What a journey, man!
I see what you did there lol
people who think journeyman is an insuIt have room temp IQs, being a top fighter for 12 years in two divisions is extremely rare
Colby fans come on 🦷
MMA fans are so stupid, they don't even know what a journeyman is. Travis Fulton was a journeyman, journeymen don't even make it to top 10 or top 5, get title shots or beat people like Till or win rounds off Maia or Benson Henderson.
@@hungry6479 Masvidal isn’t even journeyman level anymore
I'm glad we're finally getting both Masvidal and Covington back. Gonna be a fun rest of the year.
Crazy how he hasn’t won a fight since 2019. I like burns but I wanna see jorge get a big win
He fought usman and colby since then, its not so bad as it sounds.
Hope this is the nail in the coffin for him tbh
Changing off the guard
facing top dogs though doesn’t matter this burns fight another huge fighter hopefully he can pull this one
@@johno30197 masvidal was never a guard though. he’s just a overhyped journeyman
Him getting KOed felt so satisfying
Miss this jorge
Hell of a year 👏👏
That rush on Till was perfect
Want Masvidal Vs edwards the build up would be unreal
First he need to win vs Dorito the stepping stone
Can’t wait. 🍗🍗🍗🥤
I no MMA fans are the what have you done for me lately. But I personally respect the man . What a year no one stays on top for long
Yup. This game is all about timing, opportunities and being able to capitalize on a moment. I imagine it must be a rollercoaster.
Yeah thought masvidal would reach gold after 2019 but man's gone off radar lately
"Masvidal" is one of the top OG'S in any book of combat sports
always for Masvidal, no matter what happens🔥
💯
Dale Jorge Argentina está siempre con vos Campeón saludos desde Buenos Aires UFC
Funny how the NMF Wonderboy schooled the BMF..
2019 propelled masvidal to supersuperstardom super-duper but man need's a W april 8th or its curtains am sure ..
i so want to see that welterweight belt on ma boy Jorgeeeeeeeeeeeeee 💪
It might just happen first We need a win vs Gilbert everything on the line if all goes well he Fights for the belt again and might just get it. Let’s go Gamebread one last run for gold.
Probably my favourite fighter
And after winning the BMF “title” he hasn’t been the same. Lost all momentum.
crazy how a few years ago Masvidal was fighting on backyards in the streets, now he is a UFC pro and a millionaire, more motivation than that is not possible.
Will always be my favorite, hella funny too
He has very smooth and pleasing striking, I believe that if he can fend off the grappling of Burns he has a great chance of winning and being a top contender yet again
💯 can’t wait I’m so pumped for this event
He always comes with it
Another title: "The 3 fights that made Masvidal famous"
Masvidals stock in 2019 was at its peak, they should of made that mcgregor fight when they could of.
Bro we got robbed so hard on that bmf fight. Never should've been stopped.
He will never be the same again
Dude was locked in, but after his year of fame he became a slob and lost that fire fame is a double edge sword and not many know how to deal with it.
Well that year was awhile ago 👀
Only way Jorge beats Burns is if a masked man sneaks up and sucker punches Burns right before the walkout.. But that would never happen 👀
Seems about right
Not really Jorge could knock burns out but burns ground game causes issues but then again Jorge defended submissions off by Damion Maia tricky got to see
This is the Nate Vs Chimaev that didn't happened, Burns is gonna miss weight and Jorge ends up fighting Michael Chiesa 🤷🏻♂️😂
@@FedericoB1891 I see Jorge getting the w and changing everything he fights for the belt and who knows he might even finally become the champ
@@97sirdelsol i want Jorge to get the win so finally i can tell my girlfriend "see? I told ya he is the BMF" she is been laughing at me since the Covington fight 😂
Will never see eye to eye with this man because of his shots after he knocks them out. Man has no control whatsoever
I love diaz hes a true fighter. He never gives up
Brutal! Nothing more nothing less just pure brutality!
Man Darren Till one of those cases just leaves you scratching your head
Still a big Masvidal fan
Love this guy!
I remember before the fight everyone was saying that Ben looked like a Greek statue. He got toppled!
Let’s go Jeorge! Get that win🔥
Sadly Darren till just wasn't the same after having his head bounce off the canvas then masvidal hitting him a couple more times 😢
I love Masvidal.
MASVIDAL is not taking mma that serious anymore, he’s already made enough money and now he’s got his own mma/boxing promotion
Что-бы дальше не случилось Хорхе, только уважение❤
💯
💯
Crazy this dude is even still in the UFC after attacking Colby
They’re fighters what you expect him getting kicked out for fighting hahahah look at Conor hitting the old man at the bar. Conor has more pull on the ufc then anyone else Like Silva said “normal”
2019 the year of Masvidal
gotta respect these guys
The space he covers
I know people diss Jorge now, but I think he's got a better MMA brain than people give him credit for. Hearing him talk on JRE the other day - he would jump up on Askren off-camera and observe that Askren would get flustered, wouldn't react well to an unexpected situation. Hence the direction and speed change with the flying knee - he correctly anticipated that doing something Askren didn't expect would cause him to fall back on his instincts and shoot for a takedown. Anyone who maintains that knee was "lucky" is in denial at this point.
I saw the interview I agree w you.
@@robertfixescars4446 💯
His last win was also in 2019 💀😂
Colby can't even stand up with Jorge and he wants title shot again
OG of the sport!
True hall of famer and class act who loves his country.
Team Gamebred for life 💯✊🏾🥊!!! Let's go!! April 8th gonna be a Epic night 💯🔥👏🏾✨️⚡️! My boy Jorge is a animal 💯✊🏾!
Yess let's go!! Very few ppl that keep that same energy octagon, backyard, steakhouse parking lot. Dude is as real as it gets
I mean that’s great and all. But he ain’t winning the fight.
Yes go support a piece of shit criminal.
@@icecoldfire25 okay pig
Jorge an animal until usman came and slept him 😂😂😂
“2019 was the year of George Mahsvidal”
It’s the iconic masvidal smile for me
The return of Masvidal, let’s go get burns!!!
Hope he can get back again at the top
If he wins vs Gilbert he will
He won't beats Gilbert
@@BLUE-wg8lp Probably not. But never say never.
Getting starched against burns, nothing about 2019 can stop his steady decline. 😂
Yeah cause Gilbert is so much younger
You so sure bet some $ don’t just talk about it.
Masvidal all time favourite god give him strength❤️
I’m glad Nate and midval has respect for one another
NATE DIAAAAAAZ 🔥
The Askren KO was personal af
Because street judas is too ignorant to control his emotions. Good ko tho.
Súper necessary
@@KwanzaaBot1966 when using Colby’s lines just know your idol is fake as they come Jorge always stayed real unlike Colby feeding his fans lies Poor fans
Mi peleador favorito de la ufc gane o pierda siempre da espectáculo 💪
And Till was never the same after that dreaded combo.
Have to hand it to him-he parlayed one good year into millions. Nothing against Jorge, but he was little more than a tough journeyman fight before that year, and he proved he wasn’t much after.
I remember Annik- "stiff as a board"😄😎 one of the few fights in Mma or Boxing live fights (PPV) moments were I spilled my drink (side note::) Arsken was extremely predictable so Masvidal capitalized on opportunity.. That flying knee grew band wagon Masvidal fans and brought more casuals to Ufc from already what conor had brought💯)
Jorge was really the biggest star at one point.
Cause Conor was gone and now we got John Jones back but even now still massive star power I would say no 3 after Conor and Jones
Super sharp and calm against Till
Lutadores quando apanham do Masvidal, nunca mais serão os mesmos.
His best year is the year he retires
Best Year?😂😂😂😂 more like 15min
That grin Masvidal has when he was given that belt....telling the world he'll accept any belt in exchange for the real belt he could never win.
Jorge 👑
