Since leaving the UFC, Jorge masvidal has dedicated himself to organizing his own events through his organization, Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA, launched in 2021. According to the former UFC fighter Jesse Ronson, who is currently an employee of 'Jesus das ruas', the experience of the former BMF champion makes him an excellent promoter.

In an interview with YouTube channel 'Bare Knuckle Bowker', Ronson spoke about what it's like to fight Masvidal. According to the Canadian, 'Gamebred' doesn't care if a fighter is racking up losses, he just looks for entertaining fights, and if you can deliver that, you'll be rewarded.

“Masvidal says it straight out. He’s like, ‘I just want fireworks, guys. I’ll pay you, I’ll do whatever, just give me good fights. I don’t care how old you are, if you lose, or whatever. I’m not the UFC, where we’re going to cut you after two or three fights. If you’re making people scream and getting views,’” Ronson said.

Jesse Ronson highlights that Jorge masvidal, thanks to his experience as an athlete, sets himself apart as a promoter by understanding the needs of fighters. According to him, the former BMF title holder values ​​athletes, seeks to meet their demands and provides a welcoming environment, free from the pressures typical of large events.

“You’re always welcomed back and he’s like, ‘I’m going to take care of you. I’m going to try to get you whatever you need.’ He’s a great promoter because he’s fought, he understands what it’s like… Again, I’m not going to badmouth Dana White or Scott Coker or whoever runs the PFL, because if they fought and went through this, they would know what it’s like,” concluded the former UFC fighter.

Jorge masvidal reached the peak in the UFC by knocking out Darren till and Ben Askren in sequence. The fighter also won the 'BMF' belt by winning Nate diaz. However, Masvidal then racked up four consecutive losses: two to Kamaru Usman, one for Colby covington and the latest for Gilbert Durinho.
