Jorge Masvidal (born November 12, 1984) is an American mixed martial artist competing in the UFC's welterweight division.[3] A professional since 2003, he has also competed for Bellator, Strikeforce, Shark Fights, and World Victory Road.[4] He holds the record for the fastest knockout in UFC history, at 5 seconds.[5] As of January 27, 2020, he is #3 in the UFC welterweight rankings.[6]
Background
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 at Virgin Islands.[7] Masvidal's father was later imprisoned for more than twenty years for manslaughter and drug trafficking.[7] Masvidal was often involved in street fighting from a young age. There are recorded videos of his fights on YouTube defeating Kimbo Slice's protégé "Ray."[8] Masvidal later competed in wrestling at St. Brendan High School, but failed to stay eligible because of his grades, and then began training in mixed martial arts.[9]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Masvidal won his kickboxing debut by unanimous decision on April 11, 2003, at Fast and Fearless event.[citation needed] His most high-profile kickboxing victory came 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 knock out in the second round.[10]
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.[11] Masvidal won his first fight via TKO in the first round. However, he was defeated in the semi-finals 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.[12] Daley defeated Masvidal via unanimous decision.[13] After this performance, Masvidal signed with Strikeforce.[14]
Strikeforce
Masvidal returned to Strikeforce in early 2011, facing Billy Evangelista at Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson. He won the fight via unanimous decision.[15]
Masvidal then fought former Elite XC Lightweight Champion K.J. Noons[16] in a number one contender's bout. Masvidal won at the end of the first round with a high kick.[17]
Masvidal faced Gilbert Melendez for the Strikeforce Lightweight Championship at Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal on December 17, 2011, at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, CA.[18] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[19]
Following the championship bout, Masvidal fought Justin Wilcox at Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Kennedy on July 14, 2012. He won the fight via split decision (29–28, 28–29, and 30–27).[20][21]
Masvidal was expected to face Bobby Green on November 3, 2012, at Strikeforce: Cormier vs. Mir, but the bout was canceled along with the event itself. Masvidal was later expected to face Pat Healy at Strikeforce: Marquardt vs. Saffiedine but had to pull out due to a back injury.[12]

For his second bout with the promotion, Masvidal made a quick return to the Octagon as he replaced Reza Madadi in a bout against Michael Chiesa on July 27, 2013, at UFC on Fox 8.[24] Despite being dropped in the first round by punches, Masvidal took control in the second round and won via submission.[25]
For his third UFC bout, Masvidal faced Rustam Khabilov on November 6, 2013, at UFC: Fight for the Troops 3.[26] He lost the back-and-forth fight via unanimous decision. Despite the loss, the bout did earn Masvidal his first Fight of the Night.[27]
2014
Masvidal fought longtime veteran Pat Healy at UFC on Fox 11.[28] He won the fight via unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, and 29–28).[29]
Masvidal faced Daron Cruickshank on July 26, 2014, at UFC on Fox 12.[30] After being dropped by a punch in the first round, Masvidal recovered and won the fight via unanimous decision (29–28, 29–28, and 29–27).
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.[31] However, on August 14, the UFC announced that Masvidal would instead face James Krause.[32] Masvidal won the fight via unanimous decision (30–27, 29–28, and 30–27).[33]
2015

Masvidal was briefly linked to a bout with Bobby Green on April 4, 2015, at UFC Fight Night 63.[36] However, shortly after the fight was announced by the UFC, Green pulled out of the bout citing an injury and was replaced by Benson Henderson.[37] In turn, Henderson was removed from the bout to serve as event headliner at UFC Fight Night 60.[38] Masvidal eventually faced Al Iaquinta at the event.[39] He lost the bout in a closely contested split decision.[40] 13 of 15 media outlets scored the bout in favor of Masvidal.[41]

Masvidal was briefly linked to a bout with Kelvin Gastelum on November 5, 2016, at The Ultimate Fighter Latin America 3 Finale.[54] 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.[55] Subsequently, Masvidal was removed from the card entirely and instead faced Jake Ellenberger the following month at The Ultimate Fighter 24 Finale.[56] 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.[57]
2017
Masvidal faced Donald Cerrone on January 28, 2017, at UFC on Fox 23.[58] 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.[59] The win also earned Masvidal his second Performance of the Night bonus.[60]

Masvidal faced Ben Askren on July 6, 2019 at UFC 239.[67] He won the fight via a flying knee 5 seconds into the first round. The knockout was the fastest knockout in UFC history, breaking the record set by Duane Ludwig.[68] This win earned him the Performance of the Night award,[69] and it earned him the 2019 Knockout of the Year by multiple MMA media outlets.[70][71][72] Subsequently, Masvidal signed a new, eight-fight contract with the UFC.[73]
Masvidal faced Nate Diaz on November 2, 2019 in the main event at UFC 244.[74] In a unique situation, UFC President Dana White confirmed that the headlining bout was for a celebratory "baddest motherfucker" (‘BMF’) belt.[75] Masvidal won the fight via technical knockout via doctor stoppage between rounds three and four when the cageside physician determined a cut over Diaz's right eye rendered him unable to continue.[76] While the decision was controversial among fight fans, Brian Suttere, a Mayo Clinic-affiliated physician, stated that he agreed with the decision.[77]
