Ex-UFC star Jorge Masvidal inks Ali Abdelaziz as new manager as he eyes Octagon return

Former undisputed welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal — a long-time client of First Round Management, has reportedly penned a deal with Dominance MMA, for stable leader, Ali Abdelaziz to serve as his manager as he plots a return to the Octagon next year.

Masvidal, who twice competed for the undisputed welterweight crown against Abdelaziz’s long-time client, Kamaru Usman in two losing efforts, has been sidelined from the Octagon since his departure back in April of last year following a fourth consecutive loss.
