This was a super cinematic interview. The ambience and the noises of Miami, while driving the strip, and Jorge is explaining everything.
He's gotta go out in style...... Gilbert by sub or 29-28 UD
@@arizonacolour8793 nah
Masvidal already won
@@arizonacolour8793 a good tribute and farewell 😂😂😂
@@jasiahperez9547 It's almost funny how quickly people forget that Masvidal is still one of the most dangerous fighters in the world and is still a reigning champion. When it comes to real fighting with no rules Jorge is still undefeated and to me he is the ultimate alpha lion. He went to Leon's home country and served him up a 🍗🍗🍗🥤. When Colby was talking mess about his kids he defended his honor and sent that man to the hospital. Regardless of his last 3 fights Jorge still holds a belt and deserves a shot at a rematch with Leon since he beat him the first time on the streets. Let's do BMF Champ vs UFC Champ for the undisputed.
These are Brett's best videos. He's killing it with this style of interviewing with Masvidal. Would love to see him continue with this kinda vibe.
Seemed boring
casual😂
@Be grateful Brett copied Ariel period.
Brett wishes he was Ariel. Brett copying Ariels style.
gotta give it to him on this one. usually he's horrendous
Barber dude doing the most not gonna lie
He just wants the clout
Fareal! 15 seconds
Can't believe he was allowed to talk. I'll slap him up for that fr
I know lol
@@Jack-ur7mq He went to school with Jorge, so a little talk is ok, I think 😂
Keep this content coming ESPN. Masvidal's life is literally a movie come to life
Yes !!! Reminds me of that movie, "Suckerpunch"
No way Masvidal has fans
@@k33p1tc00l everyone is cheering for Gilbert, no one wants to see Masvidal win. I thought Masvidal has lost all his fans since I always see people hating on him
@@peterbird3932 corny
@@peterbird3932conors should be “suckerpunch 2 : old man edition”
I will always support Jorge. He fought his way out the mud as a cuban american. I will always respect that. And ultimately we need to support all these dudes…they’ve given their bodies for our entertainment and few get paid for it.
And Peruvian too! Shout out to the Peruvians
He's a sneak attacking criminal and a terrible fighter with double digit losses. After his loss to Gilbert hes done.
@@skyedge3407 sneak attacking criminal. Man you sounds like a pwussy.

This was amazing, Jorge Masvidal has such a cool, chill vibe about him, his interviews are always a treat 👏👏👏
Jorge has a good skill of seducing new Mma fans onto his bandwagon. But, after you watch him get murked by Burns saturday, you're gonna gtfo it. 🤣🤣
@@karmozgammoy10apr88 nah will always be on it
These past 2 interview of Jorge have been just amazing
💯💯🔥
Loving all this masvidal content!!!
Same !!! Through the highs and lows
tree0five G
Really enjoying these types of interviews, gotta keep doing more of them. Masvidal got success at a late stage of his career, so it would have been nice to see him become the champ since MMA is extremely unpredictable...
Jorge I hope you can do it I have faith in you
Same brotha
💯🫡🇭🇳🇺🇲🇭🇳🗣🗣
He's a legend no matter what tho
He does best when his backs against the wall. The fame and bandwagon fans softened him. Now he has to prove himself again that’s when he’s proven to be dangerous
He might be the best interviewee out of all MMA fighters. Real and raw.
Not really
@@charliec2966 🤡
Definitely 🙌 Realist in the game. Always himself
Stop
@@charliec2966 Charlies don't have opinions around here
Respect to this legend 🙌 Let’s go Masvidal!
lol watch him get KO'd again
@bLaCk you one of masvidals hoes?
@@eddycarpenter8989 The epitome of a hater, to use your time and energy watching and commenting on someone you do not like.

Legend of the game, Legend of Miami 🙏🙌
NOT
@bLaCk who is king of miami?
Respect and honor to Gilbert Burns but Masvidal has always been a favorite of mine personally not only because the way he fights but his Respect for the sport never missed weight is commendable some guys aren't built for college but fighting is truly an art and he has helped up & coming fighters get a platform for it 💯
How do you feel about him sneaking up on Colby though ? I like the dude too but that's not solid. Especially when you fought and lost to the guy in a fair one.
@@victornshimiye yep that was a bitchy move by Masvidal. Suckerpunching Colby was a cowardly thing to do. I lost a lot of respect for him for doing that.
Yeah I’ve always liked Jorge as well
@@victornshimiye for sure this is what I always curious to ask the Masvidal fans, especially when they talk about how good & respectable he is... I mean I don't hate on anyone for liking a specific fighter but it's weird how you can still supports that man after what he did
@Victor Nshimiye Yeah he lost the fair one but aren't yall the same fans who cheered for him when he punched Edwards despite the reasons and then turned on him when did the same to Colby who talked about his kids and bragged about it on social media shut up crying he did what he did but Colby says or does anything he gets more likes
This man is a legend. Think about what he did and beasts he was coming up with. A young Yoel Romero, an OG kimbo slice
Really enjoyed the last 2 masvidal episodes 🔥🔥🔥
💯🔥
That was the dopest interview I have ever seen. God bless Masvidal. From one street dude to another. Re2pect !
Stop
@@elvinkrigsman6956 careful he's a street dude 😂
Walking down the street doesn't make you a street dude.
Dope style of interview. Keep ‘em coming 🔥🔥🔥🔥
So excited for this fight!!! Both guys are legends.
How is Gilbert a legend?
@@Created2skate How is Masvidal a legend? With that being said, I love both of them. But realistically, neither of them are legends.
@@PyroCham masividal started out in backyard brawls with kimbo, has the fastest ko in ufc history, fought everybody he for sure is why you think this card is in Miami? Ain't because of Izzy or alex
@@Created2skateThe things you mentioned doesn't make someone a legend. There are a bunch of fighters on the roster that started out that way. The fastest KO in UFC history doesn't make someone a legend either. Duane Ludwig was the record holder before him and I'm sure newer fans don't even know who he is. I've been watching MMA for 15 years now and I've seen the rise of Masvidal, but you can't say he's a legendary fighter based on the things you just mentioned. I don't want to discredit him, because I like the guy. But that's just the truth.
@@Created2skate With that being said; the term "legend" is being used way too quickly. If you talk about legends, you talk about fighters like GSP, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones, Royce Gracie, etc, etc. Realistically, Masvidal is a couple of tiers below that. If anything, I would consider Masvidal a big influential figure for newer fans in MMA. You could say he's an icon, but not a legend.
Let’s go! Masvidal!! 🥷🏿👊🏾
🙏🙏🙏
One of the realest in the Game Well Respected By Real Righteous one I love dat username too my boy
I enjoyed this interview. They should do more like this if possible.
His barber roasting him about his hairline 😂😂😂 gotta keep that hat on 😂😂
Imagine how good this interview would’ve been if Ariel did it
Yuck...
🤣
Ha
Definitely would’ve been more entertaining 😂
a lot of instigating but i love this foo Jorge
Masvidal 💯 get that W , G !
52nd professional fight. Always puts on great and entertaining fight. Let's go Jorge!
Sickest interviews I've seen in a longtime. Let's go masvidal
Best segment from ESPN MMA since countdown. Felt movie-like
A true man, he lived like warrior
50-44d by colby then went and committed multiple felonies because he couldn't handle his emotions. What a Man
@@cascade_skyline "multiple felonies" Americans are pathetic, go keel your governmet, ZOGbots, bankers and paedo hollywood elites and stop caring about the law, you talk about someone's family all bets are off its called street justice
@@cascade_skyline he’s doing what he likes and earns big money with it. how is that burger king shift going ?
@@cascade_skyline Usman broke Colbys face and now ?colby snitched and needs police protection because he has a big mouth and cant back it up

Personally I met Jorge Masvidal and can confirm he's for the fans
Great interview. Fight to Win Jorge, you *CAN do* it!
Let's go you got this! Love this video! ❤
Been a fan since Jorge v Ray #1 on sublime directory. Coming from the hood myself this dude is an inspiration.
Word!
Let's go Masvidal, ill pray u get this W. Bring the dog out!!
Thus the perfect kinda content never seen it amazing love the style 🔥🔥🔥
inspirational AF
An aggressive Jazz dancer😂😂
I dont see Masvidal winning against Burns but I got tremendous respect for him in life.
Jorge is underestimating Gilbert. Also Jorge thinks he can beat Leon 🤣 There are levels to this. Usman beat Masvidal twice. & Leon beat Usman twice 🤔
@@cristianroy21 the whole world thinks Jorge had a literal 0 percent chance against burns lol
@@cristianroy21 and ? What you said literally means nothing. Diaz almost beat Edwards. Edwards was saved by the bell. Masvidal beat Diaz. So what are you even saying lol
@@DWBI3735 and masvidal beat Diaz bad if Jorge can fight like that against Gilbert and leon he has a big big chance
Brett, you are unparalleled when it comes to one on one interviews! Keep them coming!
This interview is amazing.
These are the interviews 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Get him masvidal! Enjoyed this.good job.
Brett talkin about pictures being annoying… brotha who is asking you for pics?! 😂😂😂
...women..🤧
NOBODY!!!
Brett has been leveling it up lately, keep it up!
Top notch interview.
People's champ 💯. Just is what it is. Win lose or draw. An average guy doing crazy things. He'll always be loved in the states.
The Diaz effect in many ways.
Good Luck next Saturday my Brother. 👍🔥❤️
Jorge done dropped the most N bombs I ever heard in the ufc😂
I remember going to school right across the street from there. I love Miami Dade college. Right after class straight to hooters lmfao I lived down the street in little Haiti. Good times
Met masvidal at a hooters in houston. Waited hours in line to say hello. I had a cool custom t shirt made with him on it. I asked for an autograph. He said nah can't sign. But he's talking about people paying him for books and autobiographies. So I wore the same shirt when I met Dustin porier , he saw my shirt and laughed so hard. He then asked me " can I sign that?" I was like yes!! Very different cats. I hope burns starches you for not signing my shirt lol. He's In need of another baptism 😂
🤣
Sounds like your lying who wears a t shirt with another man's face on it lol
Brett loves masvidal. Speaks to his character
More of these please
That was a cool idea. Got me ready for Sat. Going to be good.
It's funny how quickly people forget that Masvidal is still one of the most dangerous fighters in the world and is still a top ranked contender even after 51 fights. When it comes to real fighting with no rules or ‘croch sniffing’ Jorge is still undefeated. He went to Leon's home country and served him 🍗🍗🍗🥤. When Colby was talking mess about his kids, his family and everything, Masvidal defended his honor and got in the cage with him for it like a real man. Regardless of his last 3 fights Jorge still holds his skills and being one of the most entertaining fighters to watch.
Brett is such a fool for asking if Masvidals 14 year old daughter is the age for boyfriends.
Glad someone pointed this out
@@PoppaPurk Even the barber chimed in, cause it was so out of pocket. In their last interview they did with Jorge driving around Brett, he was even saying to Brett he himself didn't mess around with girls till he was much older (18+? idk)
Why DAT?
Brett has ni rapport to human beings, he was grown in a petri dish, hr was never seen with a woman.
right
305 Miami Dade County Born & Raised here (Homestead). Let's gooo Jorge Gamebred Masvidal. Thank you for representing the 305. Rooting for you bro. 👑 🗝️ of Dade County
I love the sound of the clippers the whole time 😂
Barber made sure he got hella airtime 🤣🤣🤣
He barber did em dirty
Masvidal is what Brett always wanted too be 💀
What makes you think that lol
What?....
Brett who?
*to
?
LETS GO JORGE!!!!! THANK YOU FOR REPRESENTING THE 305!!
All respect to 305 from 386 will be cheering for you. Win this Best of luck, Jorge
This is do-or-die for Jorge, it will be four losses in a row witch should bounce him out of the top 15, but if he wins he goes the exact opposite way. I'm picking Burns but it's MMA and anything can happen
I disagree . Fought the champ twice then the #1 contender . Not like he’s losing to bums
@@midwestprizepicks5401 burns is a beast, would love to see your response when he subs Masvidal
@@flyingmonke I think burns wins a UD
@@midwestprizepicks5401 he's ranked 12 if he loses he's out, simple math
@@jameshughes525would be pretty surprising, when you consider he lost to the champ and the second best in the divsion. And Gilbert himself is a Top 3 or Top 5 himself, so even if he lost to him, there is no way Jorge isnt a top 15 fighter 😂 but who knows
Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA
i swear Brett does the best interviews
That barbers gotta move with Jorge’s jaw when he’s talking lmao
how is he getting a haircut while having his cap on smh
I was focused on the hat on while getting a cut the whole time
this individual, that individual, these individuals, those individuals
Masvidal was a mafia actor in another life 😂
Maybe in the mafia in another life😂
This man came a long way from fighting in backyards.
Great content!!!
I love masvidal such a hard road, whant him to get blessed with a big W this weekend
Peru esta con tigo!!
Brett is in love
Masvidal Fought at the American Airline’s Arena with Sherdog! He was a beast then and he is a Beast Now! I hope to one day have a moment and talk about the weighing’s of that fight! Dude was wild in the beginning! Still wild to this Day! Got it done in true Masvidal fashion! I haven’t forgotten! 305 for Life!
Man this is cool premium jorge content 😂 😂
A legend. Win or lose. Cool cat.
THE WORD LEGEND, USED LOOSELY, HE'S NO LEGEND YOU CLOWN
Literally this is set up for Jorge to retire afterwards. I think deep down he knows what’s gonna happen. Hopefully it’s a war
Amazing cinematic interview
Estamos contigo Jorge!!! Vamos papi! Por todos los Latinos! ❤
Durinho é latino también...
@@pedromastrangi9969 claro! Me cae bien el Durinho también. Es que sigo masvidal por 20 años
Low energy Brett back it again with another bland monotone interview! Shoutout to Masvidal though. Rooting for him !
I think this counts under the “hair cut on embedded” curse
YES
305 !!! THAT ENDING GAVE ME CHILLS LZFG JORGE !!! WIN OR LOSE I’LL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU 🇨🇺 !!!!
Dale Jorge que todos los Argentinos estamos siempre con vos Campeón
Pfft Argentina 😂 ningun peleador ni boxeador importante 😂
@@AGCcachanilla El Chino le bajo un diente a Floyd Bobo de donde sos vos
Barber razzin him heavy
This interview was tough
Great Interview... Thought I was watching the UFC's Tony Montana.
What's Gilbert gonna show Masvidal that he hasn't seen before? Look at this objectively Jorge's faced elited wrestlers and held his own of which Burns isn't He's had the most elite grappler in MMA on his back and didn't get subbed. So....
He didn’t get submitted but he got crotch sniffed to death. Thats what gilbert can do. Im going for Street Judas tho.
He can stand with Jorge on the feet, going be real exciting to see if Gilbert crotch sniffs him to a decision
The difference is jorge is past his peak , Not as hungry and other than boxing has no other advantage and looks a bit gunshy , Burns is capable of knocking jorge out , wrestlefucking him / submitting or cardioing him. Masvidal in his prime id probably favour 60/40 - now i think its burns 80/20
This interview is great but imagine Ariel being the interviewer that would be badass
Really enjoyed listening to a buzzer for 30 minutes
GAMEBRED ❤
That barber showed his true colours! Weirdo 💯
He sucks
Yeah i found it wierd too, but i Wonder if Masvidal is used to it , you know like two friends roasting each others.
Sounds like he was tryna promote himself heavy while making fun of Jorge and trying to be funny . Weird for sure
Dude said the same thing vs usman and Colby. Skills pay the bills and burns has a larger tool kit. Spoiler alert 30-27 burns incoming
Yall sound slow Burns is not a collegiate level wrestler
@@mateohodge6998 and what? He’s an elite grappler and Jorge isn’t, he’s going to lose all 3 rounds again and cry about being held down
@@kingjames1101 You sound slow BJJ and wrestling are fundamentally different things, Wrestling is about control BJJ is about finishing your opponent
@@mateohodge6998 oh yes they teach no takedowns in bjj i never see Gilbert taking people down controlling them and subbing them he only averages 2.03 takedowns per ufc fight, being a phoney Montana fanboy must be hard when’s the last time dude won a fight 🤡
@FeedKHABIB Okay casual it's not the same type of grappling as Usman or Colby which Burns can wrestle just not as good as Usman he's not gonna be able to control or hold Jorge down
I love that hat. I just ordered me one. Let’s go Jorge!
I believe a show of Respect is extend your HANDSHAKE IF YOUR HANDSHAKE HAS PRINCIPALS! RESPECT IS EARNED&GIVEN
That Yves Edwards KO tho 👀
I have a feeling burns is going to take it to the ground from minute 1. Like the wonderboy fight.
Yup. Like the wonderboy
Colby and Usman are superior pressure wresters, Gilbert is not. His BJJ is great. I don't think he's gonna easily take Jorge down. Trust me Jorge has good chances against Burns. Plus it's 3 rounds. Gonna be good
@@ruthlezz5161 agreed. It will be good fight
Yup
Yea I believe Gilbert should go that route but he gonna wanna show he can bang to and that might be a mistake. But this fight gonna be a banger
Awsome ❤️😍
Yessir more Masvidal context keep it coming.💙💙💚💚😮💨😮💨🫡🫡🫵🏼🫵🏼
I got burns winning but burns isn’t as bad of a stylistic match for Masvidal up as cummington and Usman and anything can happen in mma
Masvidal will KO burns in the first round. Burns is good at BJJ but doesn't have the wrestling to get it to the ground with Jorge. Jorge will force boxing exchanges and END BURNS. 1st round
@@beyoncesmiddlefinger let’s see 😂
@@beyoncesmiddlefinger I hope so! Everyone’s sleeping on Masvidal
Bro I like Masvidal but he is NOT knocking Gilbert out 🤣 Dude is a tank
