- UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal sat down with VladTV ahead of his upcoming boxing match against MMA legend Nate Diaz. Masvidal described his troubled childhood, which included petty theft and frequent fights. He talked about participating in Kimbo Slice's backyard fights, which led him to pursue an MMA career. After competing in various fight leagues, Masvidal finally made it to the UFC where he achieved multiple accolades. Throughout the rest of the interview, Masvidal opened up about his notable fights, inside and outside of the ring, and much more.
My man really started in back yards and went to UFC.. legendary grind
Probably lost half his backyard fights too,🤣
Was a legend. He a clown now. Destroyed his own legacy
Facts bro! Inspirational journey 👏
street thug
@@paulsmith8772u goofy🤦🏾♂️than man was a killer in them back yards🦍🤣💯
I magically ran into masvidal in April at zion national park on top of angels landing and ran into Jorge. I yell out JORGE, and he comes up to me, and we start talking. The most humble, cool dude, fighter, or not. Glad I heard this Vlad interview. I forever will be a huge fan of my dawg the real BMF. Mad respect
Hope you didn't misgender him
Yeah some of these guys are very chill. I had same experience when I ran into Frank Shamrock a few years ago eating in front of a coffee shop in Santa Monica. I yelled "shamrock!!"
I'm an old head, so if you don't know who frank Juarez shamrock is, look him up. One of the pioneers of MMA, and he was the first ever middleweight UFC champion. He submitted a US Olympic gold medalist in less than a minute back in the 90s. Look up shamrock v. Jackson
I like how humble this kid is, and he is a straight up worrier
True, Jorge does worry alot, make him the perfect worrier 🤔🤣
Vlad never misses a chance to tell the home invasion story 😂
He really doesn’t what a clown
😂😂
Wrestler Vlad😂
Yeah but it's a good story and very important for people to know how powerful even a little bit of real wrestling knowledge can save a person's life in a real fight. It was also a teenager who was a wrestler and was able to take down the serial killer Gacy in his 30s got manhandled to the ground. Wrestling saved that teenage boy's life.
I didn't know Jorge was so full of personality and intelligence. He's been fighting for a long time with many blows to his head.
I remember seeing jorge back in the kimbo days around 2006 when they called him ponytail. I rooted against him because he was fighting kimbos protege and I was a kimbo fan. He won both fights and earned my respect. Years later I was watching a ufc fight night and jorge was fighting and they brought up how he fought in the backyards with kimbo. Looked him up and was like holy shit that's ponytail!!! Been a fan ever since. Became a superfan after he knocked out till and served the 3 peice and soda to leon
I like Jorge,he is a badass.What you see is what you get.He didn't portray a character when he was fighting,just himself.He is very down to earth.
I can’t believe the amount of people that don’t appreciate Jorge. Truly the realist in the entire mma game. Such a genuine dude 🙏 God bless Jorge.
How is sucker punching some one and running away genuine?
Funny how ppl who never met the dude a day in their life can have any opinion on the man and his character, same for anyone lol. What you watched a few videos and you know him? Lol. Dude seems like a narcissistic douche to me....someone who sneaks someone and runs is a snake in the grass, especially someone who is a pro fighter should know better. What if he killed dude by accident? It's rare but it does happen. Ppl have been killed by accident in simple bar fights......not how grown men act, let alone pro fighters.....lmao
He's a crybaby hypocrite. Never seen a rise and fall bigger or faster than his. No one takes him serious anymore.
@@zacharyharris438funny how you made this comment then continued to make an opinion on his character 😂 ur a complete clown and wrote a whole paragraph for nothing
Dude has holes in his game for real… he allowed words through his guard landing in his feelings
“I had one year of wrestling. I could have been a UFC champion” - Vlad
But it saved he’s life ALLEGEDLY
😂😂
Hate em or love em u gotta respect masvidal🫡💪 dude has been thru it and seems genuine af 💯
How the hell you call a 17 losses Average U.F.C fighter who sneak punches out of the ring genuine 🙄
How can you respect somebody that runs up and sucker punches then runs off like a coward
@@jeffreyrobert3342 these comments are hilarious. I didn’t know there were still Covington fans out there lmfaooo your boy got his jaw broke for talking too much. Only person who said it was a sucker punch was the victim who was crying to the cops🤣🤣🤡🤣
@paulsmith8772 ah so you're one of those who considers people who have a bad night or 2 or however a bad fighter. You telling me youre an example of todays gen with that pee wee type of thinking, are we a little flip flopper fan😂😂😂
You sad sad soul of a sorry excuse of a person. When you grow up someday you'll figure it out that it's alot more than losing that matters

The Vlad home invasion story invades every interview 😂😆😂
Crazy lmao
“You should see the other guy”
“He left on a stretcher” 😂
Vlad you GOTTA STOP telling that weak ass home invasion story 😒 😂
he will never stop telling it🤣🤣🤣
Doesn't sound tough at all 😂
Nah he gotta let niggas know he got a body😂
REPENT AND BELIEVE IN THE GOSPEL AND PLEASE TURN FROM YOUR SINS ✝️❤️🙏✝️
He punches like wilder
“I was never a victim It was part of the process”
Thanks for that that hit and put the words I’ve been wanting to tell people
Chingon
It's good to see Gamebred doing a interview about more than just fighting for the last 20 years.
Glad you had Jorge on!! You did great Vlad! Let’s get more MMA legends on here!!!
Vlads voice sounds like Quagmire when he gets loud lol
It does!😂🤣
one of my favorite fighters since my old ass discovered you tube and was watching Kimbo backyard fights
That boy was running the streets up and down US-1, knocking dudes out from Perrine to Hialeah
Watched until Vlads wrestling saved my life story lol
Best part of the interview was when Vlad asked about Kevin Holland and Jorge said “who’s dat” then Vlad got all confused missing the joke haha I was a big fan of Jorge but after his 2019 year he deserved every praise and recognition but I felt like it got to his head a bit. It was then he thought of himself more like a businessman fighting for money and being really flashy instead of having that killer mindset which is what got him there. Just my opinion
I respect Jorge for everything he went through to where he at now
Masvidal: *heartfelt story about meeting his dad in prison
Vlad: “Right, but you had to go back home without your dad…?”
😂😂 This guy Vlad bruh he did not have to say all of that 😅
Im a diaz fan I'm from California but I respect Jorge he acts like us out here in California I can see jorge being a real homie
U mean g a y
Nah. He acts like he's from FLORIDA.
Yeah nobody asked where you from or who you a fan of goofy
This dude is what you call a Jcat in Cali Bru what you talkn bout
@@ItsTooRisky I can comment whatever I want on the video but you're here commenting on my comme t get off the sack
Loved ❤️🙏 the interview with you and the Timbo Sug show. I’m also loving your channel. May the Lord continue to Bless you and your family and career. 💕
How can you not love Masvidal man damn much love bro from Liverpool uk
Vlad bring up that home invasion all the time 😂 he adds a new twist too here n there like we ain’t clocking his bs
1:22 "Im actually from Russia." Crazy, when you interviewed Anthony Arillotta you were from Massachusetts. Every west coast rapper, Vlad is all the sudden from the bay too.
Man I always admired masvidal and now knowing so much more about his dad his mom hanging with Jimbo slice as a young man and knowing how much he and his family had to endure GOD BLESS HIM and his family 💯🙏
Masvidal is a Real One fasho. True Warrior. UFC Legend🔥
Gatekeeper if that
A real pitbull! Masvidal is dead game
Masvidal was a real one now he just a washed up clown
Oh yeh great warrior 🙄lost half his fights and sneak punching trouble maker outside the ring
@@paulsmith8772cry about it bitcc
Love Jorge. Definitely a fight legend. If u had the respect and friendship of Kimbo Slice then your rep is pretty flawless. Bmf belt don't lie. Props 💪
it’s never miss a Jorge Masvidal fight 🍁 all day 💪
Great job and ty for opening day with Jorge❤
GAME-Bred! Realest UFC fighter of our generation. Great person with a great outlook on life. Stay Blessed Champ, we for sure loved watching your fights! Till, Cowboy, Nate.. sick fights. Askren was cold blooded, super necessary 👊🏽
Pffft wtf?
Lol 17 losses and scared of Leon Edwards 🤣
Great interview, Jorge Masvidal is a legend man! Started from back yard fights to making it to the biggest stage of UFC and headlining MSG, absolutely incredible. He’s a real humble guy, classy, love his chill vibe.
Big ups to Jorge, I’ve watched him fight since the early kimbo days, THIS IS THE AMERICAN DREAM 🇺🇸
Don't disrespect Askren, dude is literally one of the best college wrestlers of all time and a 2008 Olympian. He's not a striker and he hits like a 9 year old girl in a pillow fight. But he is beyond talented
Homie shoulda stayed in his lane🤷♂️
Doesn't change the fact that he got knocked out in 5 seconds 😅
I love you 💕 what a story ! I enjoyed it. God Bless you on your journey. I’ll be watching for those fights. 🙏💕
Masvidal a legend
For not being a father?
@@Miniturehulkfitness for all his accomplishments, & the great things & hard work his put in.
@@Miniturehulkfitness proof? you there?
@@Miniturehulkfitness The fact you believe anything Colby says tells me all i need to know about what type of person you are. You fan boys make Colby out to be this great guy thats a elite fighter when really everyone that knows him says he is a POS. His only wins are against washed up 155ers and is 0-3 in title fights. Lost all 5 rounds against Leon and said he lost because he supports Trump. Dude is nothing but a delusional clown.
@@MiniturehulkfitnessColby fangirl detected 😂
Masvidal is a capital "G"
Masvidal should get in movies. He got charisma and street smart validation.
Yeah but he’ll probably beat the shit out of some Hollywood liberal idiot on the set and go to jail.
Why even mention his dad shooting someone if you're gonna say, "It's ongoing, so we'll stay away from it."
So why even say it!? Smh
Dope interview..Dude is a real one
I'm a huge Usman fan and my profile pic speaks for itself but I've always had respect for Gamebred. Honestly, Masvidal is built from a different cloth. Man took a title fight on 6 days notice! Who does that? I'm not a fan of Vlad but I'll watch this interview.
Why do you love usman so much ?
@@quranenglishtranslations9315 None of your business😉
@@blackman4life Im probably the only person who cared enough to ask and probably the only one who will ask and you choose to be rude. Okay then 👍🏼 Gods peace be upon you
The 3 piece and a soda happy to hear your life story dawg I know 🙏 and feel ur struggle
Til this day jorge is one of my UFC and fighter ever. Till this day this guys story is by far the best one that make me love this guy! Look how real he is he doesn't do gimmick he tells you the real stuff that happens. When he loses he'll tell you hats off to the winner, no ego, no excuses and no grudges!
Luv masvidal he is the DEFINITION of a true American 👏 1 of the reasons I got into watching ufc is because of masvidal
Sp true Americans sucker punching people and run away lol lame
Jorge you are the man,I've watched your career since the time in back yards. Man you've kicked alot of ass and still going strong. When I was a younger man I would fight alot,but so scared to fight until I was actually putting them up,meaning my dogs,lefty and righty. I won quite a bit and had my share of defeats but all and all you have always been an inspiration to me. Thank you Mr. Masvidal.
This is the old school Jorge we all love, not the one on the traveling media circus showing up for his upcoming boxing match w Diaz. Would love to see Jorge vs Diaz in the octagon again, good dudes, both of them!
gamebred the man... popped up on my radar after that Cerrone KO.... legend!!!!
Jorge if you see this comment I want you to know that I'm a big fan you've accomplished so much and you're still so humble GOD BLESS YOU!!!
All this yelling is so annoying! Vlad chill out..
wtf is the intro all about 😂
No you just get out
He does it over iPad
Go somewhere else then tablet baby
Shut up if u don't like it don't watch it
End of the day I do respect Jorge’s career and all the entertainment he provided for fans like me
I like this dude, calm, collected, strong.
Wow huge interview! Great job Vlad.
Masdival deserve all the respect for all what he has been doing . Good dude .
What's crazy is I remember when I was super young, probably just got in to middle school and TH-cam was just popping off. I ran across all the backyard brawls with Kimbo and I watched all of them. I had no clue for the longest time that Masvidal was in them which was crazy. Kimbo was nasty back then, RIP a legend.
Great interview , I'd love too hear nates on here as well
Big up masvidal love him over here in the u.k 💯💯
You must be from Foula 😂
@@paulsmith8772 why you laughing at your own sh*t comment 🤡 have a medal 🥇
Respect the fact that Jorge speaks up about how great USA is and ballz commi is fr
Absolute LEGEND! GAMEBRED 💯
Av always rated Madvidal since I 1st seen him in Backyard scrappin days with Kimbo and he comes across as a laid back humble guy and he's done it since those days of him fighting for just enough to get himself something to eat do fairplay to him and I wish him well 💯💯😉
“Right but you had to go back home without your dad….”
Masvidal flying knee KO’s vlad
Jorge a General. Says it how it is ❤🥊💯🙏
Love Masvidal! One of the true gangsters in the fight business. A true man.
Jorge hasn’t been the same after Colby smoked him in the ring. Colby actually retired him.
Road house is a very funny movie.
Connor looks awesome.
Nobody is expecting an Oscar performance from Connor, but he playing his role very nice. Hats off to Connor.
This movie should entertain you...with beer and popcorn...and that is exactly what this movie is doing...entertain you.
Jorge Masvidal 🇨🇺🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥LEGEND 👑💐
Masvidal in his prime was the best boxer in the ufc but the problem was he started getting his fame after he knocked Ben out he was alry in his late thirties by then, he deserves much more respect n fame for the legend of a fighter he is.
I like Jorge even more after this interview.....dudes a warrior.
All of his fights from the very beginning are exciting! There’s so many decisions that should have went his way
Legend 💯🔥
Jorge “Backyard” Masvidal. The coolest OG in the fight game.
Masvidal is so intelligent and absolutely right on everything
Huge fan of masvidal. I hope to see him maybe do something in boxing. Pacquiao vs masvidal would be cool. My 2 favorite fighters.
Against pac man ? 😂🤣
Yea why not? At this point boxing is a joke anyways.
THANK YOU VLAD
George saying he wondered what it would be like against Usman on a full camp, neglecting the fact he got an immediate rematch where he did get a full camp and that time he got KO’d
No wonder he loves Scarface so much. His dad was Tony Montana. Great video!
Masvidal is one of Us!! 305 live ... all day..all night.. all day
Vlad has a good story and it's very important for people to know how powerful even a little bit of real wrestling knowledge can save a person's life in a real fight. It was also a teenager who was a wrestler and was able to take down the serial killer Gacy in his 30s got manhandled to the ground. Wrestling saved that teenage boy's life.
UFC 239, I was there. I thought Askren was dead.
😂 I did too at first. Everyone was like 😲
Masvidal is a so much more of likable person after listening to this, seems like he's been painted as a bad guy
The way it is with most of the real 1s. The fake get praised & celebrated while the real get hated & ignored. No one actually listens to people anymore see headlines and what other people say and form a opinion from that. Masvidal has always been like this just nobody decided to actually listen to him
Legend. Rip kimbo also
Blindsided one punch (not knocking Colby down or out btw) counts as “beating the shit out of him” when in reality he got mauled in the actually fight
Ben askren can still hear bells ringing from that knee 😂😂
Vlad must have had a redbull before this interview
lol I wondering myself, dude was super hype haha
Why isnt this interview in 35 different 3 minute videos?
Times have changed. Trump was just cheered louder than ever at Madison Square Garden.
Love it Masvidal is the man 🙌
Good for you Vlad, Masvidal needed money and you always help these guys out
Growing up seein bro in them kimbo slice backyard fights and didn’t even know it was him till years later lol
gamebred 💪💪 always a fan og
“If I go to park my car and there’s only one spot left and he tries to take that spot that MF’s going to sleep again” 😂 😂
Doesn't matter if Perreira wins the heavyweight title, he still can't be considered anything close to one of the greatest. Because he's just grabbing belts, it's not like he's cleaning out any of these divisions. So anybody has a punches chance in any fight, if he wins the title that doesn't mean he can beat anybody else in that division. These guys need to start climbing the rankings instead of thinking the boss just for winning one fight in a particular division just because it had the belt attached to it
Absolute legend right here
How many people Jorge, how many? The truth is you don’t know. He knows bits and pieces about politics but at most time doesn’t know what he is talking about.
Its funny i see a lot of people hate on masvidal more toward the end of his career but ive actually kinda started to respect him more. People always talk about jorge catching colby on the street but colby is the one who talked crazy and knew what the potential repercussions could be for that. Play with fire, youre gunna get burned. Jorge is a stand up dude and stood behind his word. On some street shit jorge is a dog and grinded his way to the highest organization and made lots of money doing it. Whether you like him or not i feel you gotta respect it. I respect the guy who stands on what he believes in, standing up for his kids and respect, win or lose over a guy who runs his mouth for views and a paycheque.
I was cringing bad when vlad told his wrestling home invasion story
awesome guest 👏 love jorge
Jorge is a real American.
They've both done things I don't agree with or like... more so recently as in the last few years. But considering how much I still like and respect both of them, inspite of the few dumb things that I'm sure would be hard for anyone to avoid that had that kind of fame and admiration... It still kinda "breaks my heart" for lack of better term, that Jorge and Colby aren't still boys!!
