UFC veteran Jorge Masvidal backed to make triumphant boxing move: ‘He’s gonna surprise a lot of people’

Bellator Middleweight champion, Johnny Eblen discusses teammate Jorge Masvidal’s return to fighting.

Masivdal officially retired in April of 2023 after dropping a decision against Gilbert Burns, marking his fourth loss in a row. It was clear that the original BMF champion had lost a step, even admitting so himself and seemed an appropriate time to retire in front of a roaring support in his hometown of Miami.

However, like many fighters, it seems that Jorge Masvidal is not done with combat just yet and is set to test the waters in boxing.
