“I love the sport and I can’t retire without the title. I want to give as much as I can. I'm 36 years old and I feel good enough to go to the gym and I don't let myself be overtaken by young people. So, why not make another run (for the belt)?”, said Masvidal in an interview with 'ESPN'.

Asked about his next step for the future, the 'Jesus of the Streets', as he is known, stated that he should fight more often this year. Furthermore, he says that the idea is to take action as many times as possible to return to the top of the division.

“I will definitely fight again this year. The aim is to fight hard. If I can get at least one fight a year, I'll be happy. If I can get two, which is unlikely, that would be cool,” he concluded.

Ultimate representative since 2013, Jorge masvidal has a record of 35 wins and 15 losses. The American had two consecutive opportunities to win the welterweight belt and was defeated in both by Usman. The peak of 's careerJesus of the Streets' was when he won the 'BMF' belt (most thick-skinned fighter) by defeating Nate diaz No. UFC 244 in November 2019.
