Jorge Masvidal (born November 12, 1984) is an American professional mixed martial artist. He currently competes in the Welterweight division for the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).[5] Masvidal has been competing professionally since 2003; he has also competed for Bellator, Strikeforce, Shark Fights, and World Victory Road.[6] He holds the record for the fastest knockout in UFC history at five seconds, and won the inaugural UFC 'BMF' Championship belt.[7] As of October 3, 2022, he is #11 in the UFC welterweight rankings.[8]
Early life and education
Masvidal was born and raised in Miami, to a Cuban father and Peruvian mother. According to Masvidal, his father left Cuba in a self-made raft when he was young, ending up in the Virgin Islands.[9] Masvidal's father was later imprisoned for more than twenty years for manslaughter and drug trafficking.[9] Masvidal was often involved in street fighting from a young age. There are videos on YouTube of his fights defeating Kimbo Slice's protégé "Ray".[10] Masvidal competed in wrestling at St. Brendan High School, but failed to stay eligible because of his grades. He then began training in karate and mixed martial arts.[11]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Masvidal won his mixed martial arts debut by knockout on May 24, 2003, at HOOKnSHOOT: Absolute Fighting Championships 3.[12] He fought in the main event of the Absolute Fighting Championships XII event held on April 30, against current UFC competitor and The Ultimate Fighter 5 contestant Joe Lauzon. Masvidal won via technical knockout in the second round.[13]
Masvidal garnered a 3–0 record in the now-defunct BodogFIGHT promotion, including decision victories over Keith Wisniewski, Steve Berger, and a head-kick knockout of PRIDE Fighting Championships and UFC veteran Yves Edwards.
Bellator
Masvidal was signed by Bellator and entered their lightweight tournament in April 2009.[14] Masvidal won his first fight via TKO in the first round. However, he was defeated in the semifinals by Toby Imada at Bellator 5, who won via inverted triangle choke submission in the third round. This upset loss was acknowledged by Sherdog and MMA Junkie as Submission of the Year.
Masvidal faced and defeated Eric Reynolds at Bellator 12 in a 160 lb. catchweight bout via rear-naked choke submission. He was rumored to be fighting again but was released by the organization.
Post-Bellator
Masvidal moved up to the welterweight division to fight Paul Daley at Shark Fights 13 in Amarillo, Texas in September 2010. The bout was later made a catchweight of 171.75 lbs. after Daley failed to make weight.[15] Daley defeated Masvidal via unanimous decision.[16] After this performance, Masvidal signed with Strikeforce.[17]
Strikeforce
Masvidal returned to Strikeforce in early 2011, facing Billy Evangelista at Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson. He won the fight via unanimous decision.[18]
Masvidal then fought former Elite XC Lightweight Champion K. J. Noons[19] in a number one contender's bout. Masvidal won via decision.[20]

For his third UFC bout, Masvidal faced Rustam Khabilov on November 6, 2013, at UFC: Fight for the Troops 3.[29] He lost the back-and-forth fight via unanimous decision. Despite the loss, the bout earned Masvidal his first Fight of the Night.[30]
2014
Masvidal fought longtime veteran Pat Healy at UFC on Fox 11.[31] He won the fight via unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, 29–28).[32]

A bout with Bobby Green, first scheduled under the Strikeforce banner in 2012 before being scrapped, was expected to take place on September 27, 2014, at UFC 178.[34] However, on August 14, the UFC announced that Masvidal would instead face James Krause.[35] Masvidal won the fight via unanimous decision (30–27, 29–28, 30–27).[36]
2015

Masvidal was briefly linked to a bout with Kelvin Gastelum on November 5, 2016, at The Ultimate Fighter Latin America 3 Finale.[57] However, on September 14, Gastelum was removed in favor of a fight against former lightweight title challenger Donald Cerrone at UFC 205, one week later.[58] Subsequently, Masvidal was removed from the card entirely and instead faced Jake Ellenberger the following month at The Ultimate Fighter 24 Finale.[59] He went on to defeat Ellenberger in the first round via TKO. It was ruled a TKO after Ellenberger's toe was caught in the fence and the referee called a stop to the action resulting in the end of the fight.[60]
2017
Masvidal faced Donald Cerrone on January 28, 2017, at UFC on Fox 23.[61] He dropped Cerrone and nearly finished the fight in the last seconds of the first round, and eventually won the fight via TKO in the second round after scoring another knockdown.[62] The win also earned Masvidal his second Performance of the Night bonus.[63]

Masvidal faced Ben Askren on July 6, 2019, at UFC 239.[70] Both fighters rushed in immediately with Masvidal catching Askren with a flying knee as he attempted a takedown, winning the fight via knockout 5 seconds into round one. The knockout was the fastest knockout in UFC history, breaking the record set by Duane Ludwig.[71] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award,[72] and it earned him the 2019 Knockout of the Year by multiple MMA media outlets.[73][74][75] Subsequently, Masvidal signed a new, eight-fight contract with the UFC.[76]
Masvidal faced Nate Diaz on November 2, 2019, in the main event at UFC 244.[77] In a unique situation, UFC President Dana White confirmed that the headlining bout was for a celebratory "Baddest Motherfucker" (‘BMF’) belt.[78] After dominating most of the fight, Masvidal won the fight via TKO due to the doctor stoppage between rounds three and four when the cageside physician determined a cut over Diaz's right eye rendered him unable to continue.[79] Although the decision was controversial among fight fans, Brian Suttere, a Mayo Clinic-affiliated physician, agreed with the decision.[80]
2020
On 5 July 2020, it was reported that Masvidal had stepped in on less than a week's notice to face Kamaru Usman for the UFC Welterweight Championship at UFC 251, replacing original challenger Gilbert Burns, who had tested positive for COVID-19 on 3 July 2020.[81] Prior to the fight, he signed a new, multi-fight contract with the UFC.[82] Masvidal lost the fight via unanimous judges' decision, scored 50–45, 50-45 and 49–46.[83]
2021

Masvidal was scheduled to face Leon Edwards on December 11, 2021, at UFC 269.[86] However, Masvidal withdrew due to injury, and the bout was scrapped.[87][88]
2022
Masvidal faced Colby Covington on March 5, 2022, at UFC 272.[89] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[90] This fight earned him the Fight of the Night award.[91]
Professional wrestling
All Elite Wrestling
Masvidal made his debut for All Elite Wrestling at AEW Grand Slam on September 24, 2021, alongside American Top Team, and attacked Chris Jericho and Jake Hager.[92]
Business interests
In 2020, Masvidal launched a mezcal brand, El Recuerdo de Oaxaca Joven, through a partnership with Recuerdo Mezcal.[93]
In April 2021, Masvidal announced he was launching a bare-knuckle MMA promotion, Gamebred Fighting Championship.[94] The promotion held its inaugural pay-per-view event on June 18, 2021, in Biloxi, Mississippi.[95]
In January 2022, Masvidal launched another MMA promotion, iKON FC, which would feature both UFC veterans and up-and-coming fighters.[96] The promotion's inaugural event aired on UFC Fight Pass on January 21, 2022.[97]
Personal life
Masvidal has three children (two daughters and a son) with Iman Kawa, a Jordanian American entrepreneur and procurement specialist who is the sister of MMA agent Malki Kawa. Masvidal and Kawa were in a relationship for approximately 10 years before separating in 2019.[98]
Legal issues
On March 22, 2022, it was reported that Masvidal had allegedly assaulted UFC rival Colby Covington, whom he had been defeated by at UFC 272 a few weeks prior.[99] It is alleged that as Covington was leaving a restaurant, Masvidal ran up on Covington and punched him twice, fracturing one of Covington's teeth and causing an abrasion on his wrist. Masvidal was arrested a day after the incident and charged with aggravated battery resulting in great bodily harm and one count of criminal mischief. Masvidal was detained by the Miami county police at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $15,000 bond and was later released on conditional release.[100] Masvidal pleaded not guilty to the charges and he was initially scheduled for arraignment on April 21, 2022.[101] On April 21, 2022, a continuance until April 28 was granted after a request from the state attorney's office.[102] On April 28, Masvidal was issued a stay away order and the aggravated battery charges were updated after Covington was claimed to have suffered a brain injury from the alleged attack.[103] On May 12 status hearing a pre-trial hearing and trial were set to take place on August 17 and August 29, 2022, respectively.[104]
