Longtime lightweight veteran Jorge Masvidal is moving up to the welterweight division to battle former middleweight Cezar Ferreira as part of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 21 Finale, scheduled for July 12, 2015 in South Florida, according to Brazil's Ricardo Carlini (via MMA Fighting).
Masvidal (28-9) saw his three-fight winning streak go up in smoke against Al Iaquinta by way of controversial F-bomb split decision at the UFC Fight Night 63 event just last month. "Gamebred" has a habit of compiling wins, then giving them away at the precipice of breaking through.
Perhaps a new weight class will yield better results?
