Looking to escape the usual, Jorge masvidal decided to climb the best middleweight (up to 83,9kg) currently. In an interview with 'The MMA Hour', the UFC athlete did not sit on the fence and highlighted that his training partner at American Top Team, Johnny Eblen, stands out from the other fighters.

“I've been talking about Johnny Eblen since he was an amateur. I'll tell you now. He could go to the UFC and be a champion. He has all the goods. At present, there are not many people who can deal with him. He has big hands, big power, and this guy lives in the gym. He is the best middleweight currently in the world. I really believe that,” Masvidal said.
