Jorge Masvidal Retires From MMA After UFC 287 Loss
Former Welterweight Champion Hangs Up the Gloves
Masvidal's Final Fight Ends in Defeat
Jorge Masvidal, the former UFC welterweight champion, has announced his retirement from mixed martial arts following his loss to Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 on Saturday. The 38-year-old fighter took a bow for the final time in the Octagon after the defeat, signaling the end of an illustrious career.
Masvidal, known as "Gamebred," is widely regarded as one of the most exciting fighters in the history of the sport. He burst onto the scene in 2019 with his record-breaking knockout of Ben Askren in five seconds, the fastest knockout in UFC history. Masvidal went on to win the BMF (Baddest Mother F***er) championship and challenge for the welterweight title twice.
Despite his retirement, Masvidal's legacy as a fan favorite and one of the most feared fighters in the welterweight division will endure. His aggressive style, relentless determination, and memorable moments inside the Octagon will be forever etched in the annals of MMA history.
