Jorge Masvidal had a befitting reply to all his doubters after they claimed that ‘Gamebred’ did not deserve an opportunity to fight for the title.
However, he has let his body of work do the talking by posting a spectacular compilation reel of his best knockouts.
Following Leon Edwards’ incredible victory at UFC 278 against Kamaru Usman, Masvidal’s team floated the idea of a potential fight between the two in the future.
His manager Malki Kawa posted the below tweet showing interest in a Masvidal vs. Edwards bout.
Fans and MMA experts, including former double champion Daniel Cormier, have advised Edwards to not let ‘Gamebred’ have an immediate crack at the title, owing to the disregard ‘Rocky’ has in the past.
This enraged Jorge Masvidal, who slammed Cormier for his comments. The 37-year-old mixed martial artist also had a reply to the fans who mocked him by calling him a journeyman and reminded him of his three-fight losing streak.
The Florida native took to Instagram to post a highlight reel of his knockouts along with the caption:
“A lot of people throwing around the word “deserve”. The f**k I look like, a democrat?”
The reel features his viral knockout of Darren Till and the beatdown of Nate Diaz amongst other high-octane moments in his career.
Jorge Masvidal has been a staunch supporter of the Republican party and has been seen alongside former US President Donald Trump in several election campaigns and rallies.
He was not satisfied with the results of the 2020 presidential polls and even aimed a subtle dig at the Democratic party over the word “deserving”.
