Even in retirement, Jorge Masvidal continues to evoke fear wherever he ventures. With a remarkable two-decade career spanning from 2003 to 2023, culminating in his last fight against Gilbert Burns at UFC 287, the ‘Gamebred’ bid farewell to the sport he conquered. While keeping his options open, the 38-year-old now ventures beyond the confines of the octagon.

In a recent turn of events, the former BMF champion engaged in a heated confrontation with none other than ‘The Problem Child’ himself. The intensity of the incident escalated further when Masvidal unleashed his renowned move, the same one that dispatched Ben Askren in a mere 5 seconds, on an employee of Jake Paul‘s media company. The unfortunate recipient found himself living a nightmare as a result. This scenario undoubtedly grabbed the fans’ attention, compelling them to burst out with their reactions.
Jorge Masvidal scared the life out of Jake Paul’s employee
Immediately after his scuffle with Jake Paul, Jorge Masvidal squared off with Betr Media’s employee, Derek Sullivan. Derek has had his troubled encounter with Nate Diaz, too, which landed him in trouble. He has even had his moment of embarrassment with Israel Adesanya, too.
Now the Betr employee engaged with ‘Gamebred’, who wasted no time in demonstrating his kicks to the outspoken reporter. However, before Masvidal could land any strikes, Sullivan seemed to have learned his lesson and made sure to avoid them at any cost. After all, he recently ate a painful kick from Adesanya. With a stern expression, Masvidal stated, “That’s been enough PTSD for a month, leave him alone.”
