- Jorge Masvidal takes ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto back to the Miami apartment complex he grew up in with his mother. “Gamebred” tells stories about (1:45) having his bike stolen and getting into the fights. He also discusses (6:01) getting a knife pulled on him, (10:45) living in his car, being the “dine and dash king of Miami”, (15:17) trying to hide a bad report card from his mom, (19:41) how he got connected with Dan Lambert at American Top Team and (21:06) fighting in a backyard vs. Kimbo Slice’s protégé Ray. (23:01) Masvidal describes how he can sense danger and how it led to the “3 piece and the soda.”

Whoever stole his bike turned masvidal into the man he is today
Ali Muhammad
Same reason Muhammad Ali learned to box. He wanted to beat up the bully.
Thomas Broome-Jones I came to say the same thing ha!
@@tomtalks23 GSP as well. School bully
Trust me g from someone from Miami it’s deeper than that..
People at the gym: "You're so disciplined"
Jorge: "Nah, I literally live back here" hahaha
absolutely died laughing when he said that
Fr lol
He's a tough dude that was shaped by the expierences from his environment. Nothing but absolute respect.
@sm gq21 lol shut up
the low class trash make a choice to live like that
That’s why I love America; life doesn’t give you what you deserve, it gives you what you go after ESPECIALLY in the US. You can either hate, judge and live a mediocre pointless life, or go after what you want no matter the circumstances. I’m glad he’s going after what he wants AND is getting it.
It would b cool if Him and Nate Diaz had a Draw a real Draw of 5 Rounds Banging .
Someone always finds a way to d***ride america 😂 @@joelrojas1236
Somebody told Jorge that Ben Askren stole his bike
LMFAO
Lol good one
Now this is comedy
Ooofff
A year later and I'm still rolling😂😂😂
Jorge kinda feels like Nate if he could express his words better
100%
He just did a hour interview with Ariel. Seems like they both are talking alot more now.
@Godzilla 2219 a little bit of that and a little bit of Nate genuinely does not give a f*** about the fame, he doesn't buy into that ego trip. That's why he put USADA on blast. he's anti-establishment, he does the bare minimum required out of him to get paid.
Exactly
@Godzilla 2219 nate has always talked like that even when he was on the ultimate fighter.
Man 2019 did change his life, Respect
Till thinking Jorge is an easy fight changed his life.
pro for 16 years then this year BOOM
won a couple big fights, good marketing, good media
just got to package and present it to people and they'll go for it
3 piece and a soda changed his life
Hmm....Can't spell 2019 without 209....Im a fan of them both but have been a fan of Diaz 1st and for longer. I always root for him to win!
Better yet, HE changed his life in 2019!
Legend has it that the UFC has started charging Askren rent for sleeping in the octagon.
agafadaffafafaaggtghahahahahaahahahahahahhaaahahhahah
Dayumn!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thats a pretty good one. 😁👍
Hahahah thats crack up!
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣
I was tearing up watching this. Just to see that there's someone out there who really made it, from what seems like a mirror situation growing up. Seems like an intelligent guy too. Well done Jorge.
Same bro. How can you not love Masvidal? Such a humble, down to earth dude. Reminds me of myself, other than the fact that I can't fight lol 😂
I don’t know about him being humble. But he’s definitely a good fighter and his upbringing was crazy. Respect to him
Man, considering how many fights he's been in and how early he started fighting in the streets, he's very blessed to be articulate.
Especially when u look at Nate who's been in almost half as many fights as Jorge , but then again Jorge has better striking defense overall
Nick and Nate had speech therapy like me when they were young. Has nothing to do with fighting with them. Even nicks 3rd grade teacher says he stilll talks the same.
Tan Ten dude loses by decision. He’s a good fighter everybody just hating
@@user-tk2mt9mj8b lol
Jorge has very good striking defense

When Jorge put his hands behind his back be careful 😂😂
natedogg101 you know! He done it to askren and he done it backstage to Edwards
Right!!
@@Mikee-js5qp now he got koed
Yep....
i grew up in a rough neighbourhood, and i know exactly what he means by sensing danger. You just feel it before anything even happens.
Intuition
Facts
Couldn’t agree more...it’s a built in instinct
All facts my guy.
Yup. The surroundings make you more aware of people, some you know, some might be strangers.
Jorge is so easy to like! His personality is just so pure. Seal the deal naow
don't hate regulate so!!u like him better then nate
I don't get that, he sounds so try hard. And he's a journeyman who refused to fight up and comers his whole career despite all his losses.
don't hate regulate Colby whooped him
No Name journeyman? He has more wins than more than half of al ufc fighters
I fully rate masvidal but it does sound like he tries hard to act cool and gangster
"Oh,so you're intelligent now"- Jorge Masvidal
Quoting his mamadukes
"Oh so you're a wrestler now" sounds like Nate diaz
@@luckylucciano20 undefeated undisputed
Brett: So what did you do when your bike got stolen?
Jorge: Started stealin bikes.
Hurt people hurt people 🤣😢😂
Dog eat dog yo 😂
Brett and Ariel interview people like they’re aliens pretending to be human and trying to learn about our way of life.
Damnit 😂😂💀
underated comment
This comment😂
Lol
They are.🤷♂️
I have never been so torn between two fighters. UFC 244 is gonna be fire 🔥
I feel the same
I like both but I'll never root against Diaz.
Double knockout then is probably best result.?👊👊
Irish Dragon imagine that 😂 they both land a blow to the chin at the same time, both just drop cold 💀💀💀 I can just imagine the gasp and silence of everyone 😭😭😭 that would be straight fucking gold
Me too...
Imagine chillin in your apartment..someone knocking on your door in the morning, you open it up and it’s Jorge Masvidal standing there with his hands behind his back
Grant Franchey asking “did you steal my bike?” 😂
Shoot I got Mortal Kombat and extra controllers, we’re good...I hope. Lol

About to get a free meal. 🍗🍗🍗🍺
Being from miami im proud of this dude its nice to see some one from here represent us especially hispanics the right way kimbo was the first as far as mma goes and fighting in general but this dude is definitely doing kimbo proud man wish he was able to see this
When you’re true to yourself it takes longer to achieve your goals but your name stays there forever.
Knighttus real talk
Depends on career lmao
Well said bro! Well said!
You mean by not selling your soul going out easy
Well said
I feel like my two brothers are fighting. Nothing but love and respect for both diaz and masvidal but I cannot pick a winner!
Jake Modi me too.., I’m gonna have to go with mas though .. Diaz has had more time in the light .. Mas deserves some time
I feel the same way! I cant pick a side either.
They the same age, pretty much same experience, gonna be a war
Jake Modi I think Nate. But regardless, they should run it back right away. Maybe in December
Its painful to hear someone who’s never struggled ask someone who has struggled questions. When he asked did he get a $500 car from a dealership. 🤦♂️ No Bret.
Was thinking that lol shouldnt even have been asked.
How do u know he’s never struggled? You don’t know if he grew up poor or not, even if you grew up poor doesn’t necessarily mean u struggled either just grew up not rich like most of us in not so nice areas
@@mitchelljosephmccartney6428 The fact he asked If he bought his first car from a dealership proves this. The fact you are asking proves you are much the same
Joe Hogan you don’t know me you fool don’t assume, I grew up in a shitty area in a council house just cause someone says something dumb don’t mean they didn’t grow up a certain way use your brain
@@mitchelljosephmccartney6428 hahaha
Jorges mom is like "oh so you're intelligent now?" I felt this
Cant belive this guy makes a living interviewing people.
He’s so bad. I really think he was scared
He’s not that be. He just deinem want to interrupt Jorges flow of speaking
The most impressive thing about Jorge is how fast he was able to grow that luscious head of hair.
Unbelievable
Prenatal vitamins mang
The supplements he eat is probably the reason
It is my dream to have such long hair haha
God tier hair genetics
Even the apartments look like 2019 version of scarface scene 😂
Hahaha i just noticed. You are right
Looks like sunray motel haha
I was there a year ago and I swear it's just full on scarface all over. Scarface/vice city. Unreal
@@dcarson89 fuc California
@@dcarson89 yea its the real deal vice city i made the mistake to move from that to cali san Francisco big mistske miami has the woman and.all . Sf bay has asians and asians
“Started stealing bikes” 😂😂
BIKES!!!! You in here for stealing bikes!!??
@big lac you ain't never been to the hood
big lac what goes around.. comes around..
@sm gq21 it's inspiring because it's a story of redemption. People can be shitty people and turn their life around, now he's a productive member of society, donates to charity and stories of people that turn their life around create hope for other hopeless people to realize there is a way out of poverty.

His flying knee was the most impactful move in the UFC since McGregor knocked out Aldo in 13 seconds.
Nate submitting conor was biggest impactful move in the UFC
@@Reelbuzz247 Why tf would a rear naked choke be considered more impactful next to that flying knee? Easiest most basic submission vs hardest/deadliest strike to land. You gotta give Jorge that credit.
@@nflpro96 Jorge is a g bro, no doubt about that but look where Nate is now, he too a g but didn't get proper recognition until he fucked up Conor. Jorge's knee was great but Nate beating Conor was "The moment".
The stakes were way bigger with Nate and Conor...Also the Holly head kick was huge.
Yes Sherlock Holmes
So many great stories about his struggle and they’re all told through a positive, optimistic perspective.

Please keep these coming ESPN. Coach interviews would be awesome too! ESPN are smart enough to know what the fans want, exciting era in mma for the fighters and the fans!!
“Roman Noodle was the thing for me back in the day” lol I’m going to call it that from now on 😂 that’s awesome.
PauliebNY isnt thst what it’s called i don’t get it

muhn, look it up.
I don’t think I ever called it anything else ..in life.
14:42 is when Jorge realized Brett is the feds.
No speaky no english! Que?!
@@jordanfrancisco27 😂😂😂
As someone who was homeless. Slept in the car, shelters, wherever I could... I feel for him. It's a hard thing to work through and its nice to see he is living his dream now.
One of the best interviews. Memory lane inspire, Real one. You can do anything you put your mind too.
Man this dude just told my life story .minus me not being a pro fighter .Much respect coming out the 209!
jorge carries the interview. the interviewrer does not know what hes doing
Well it's a normal enough conversation so that shows him as a real person not a public figure who has to be "on", that's what most people are curious about with the people they're interested in.
The interviewer is low key scared 😱
If the interviewer talked more you'd probably say OMG LET JORGE TALK bruh lmao
How? He had good questions
@@Zwpz exactly
“Yeah, but he ain’t no bike stealing gangster”
Jorge Masvidal
😂😂😂
Good one!
I love these sentimental videos . Really cohesive and chronological order of his story and life. Love you MASVIDAL
I was born and raised in Miami and the stories of jorge a 100 relatable on how my childhood was playing with my friends getting in trouble, messing with elevators from the building I use to live in, best times the feeling that the childhood stage never ends, the way he talks and everything is straight up MIAMI chico. Seeing jorge a latino from miami living his dream is like seeing one of my own. 3o5 M.I.A DADE COUNTY the FIGHTING CITY. Been down with GAMEBRED since the BACKYARD days
That was a very cool interview. Jorge is just an authentic guy. Good to see he made it for himself.
Mad respect for this man
Patiently waiting 4 Diz Fight. Diz gon B Epic
Thank you for this awesome og story time!! Jorge is such a badass. Loved hearing his story's of life..... man we all go through rough times, some harder than others. I believe in you GAMEBRED. He's gunna win
It is so much easier watching his videos then Nates! I know Nate can talk I just think he gets really nervous around the camera, Jorge is the man... A true entertainer
I never knew Masvidal was such a normal positive dude.. new fan here!
Masvidal is the truth! Can’t help but love bro and respect his struggle. Genuine guy..
Man i relate to jorge more than any other fighter bruh after i heard him doing interviews i just could tell he was a street dude and really came from the bottom..so much respect to you for not becoming a statistic and becoming a victim of the streets
Jorge manifested his life ☄️🧬 that's the man. I wish I can meet him. He a true warrior 🥊
im very happy for jorge. his life sounds so similar to mine growing up
You want to be a fighter
Like MMA.
this guy is so pure and real
This is why I love Masvidal man! His story is soooo similar to mine! I grew up in Brooklyn NY and Fort Wayne IN to such a similar story
God he’s entertaining lol you never see Brett laugh as much as when he talks to Jorge lol
Estás linda, Ms. Torres.😉
Are you the only straight woman this days? 😂 😂 😂
estas linda:)
You'd f him?
@@howardmathews5572 we know you would
Got to love this stuff , Can't wait for the BMF fight💪👍🌴
Man I love this guy, so happy for his success. Respect brother.
This is a great interview. Enjoyed it a lot.
incredible insight, incredible interview, incredible dude
Both guys are such class acts and great fighters..hard to pick a favorite
I love jorge so humble and a real person nuff love brother
I lived in Miami when I was a kid, I feel this connection with Masvidal, hope he wins. I decided, I'm team Masvidal
Dam bro you're just like him!!
@@markavellimedina2857 I lived in Florida for a year and ate Cuban sandwiches on a regular. I'm just like Masvidal as well. 🤣🤣🤣
Young Jaime JRE I’m on both teams but I think Jorge our boxes him and wins
Riki that's nothing I use this Cuban face cream that basically means I'm Masvidal
Tony Ferguson's the type of guy that acts like he's asleep in the car so his wife can carry him in the house and put him to sleep.

Respect Jorge masvidal so much I love that people are getting to see his personality as well as his fighting ability he seems like a really good person
God bless you brother! Came a long way and you deserve it!
The biggest glow up I've ever seen
Hadoukennnn. So relating to this man, I'll never forget when my bike got stolen too, my mom drove me around to check on people's backyards.
Happy Retirement Mr. Masvidal! One of the Greatest Fighter! Thank you! 💪🏻
Much love from Albuquerque New Mexico
“It’s just chasing the dream, it’s all part of it, you know?” - Respect
He was john wick but with a bike 😂😂 respect
Looks like just honest and straight forward guy. No bs no nothing. Respect
Jorge reminds me soo much of myself. im not from Flor, im from Bklyn ny. the way he was brought up , the whole ppl jumpin out a car to attack him, etc. handle business then bounce because ppl cant handle the "L". so they wna jump u or get bats etc. this interview really touched me in so many levels. i would love to have a 5min convo wit Jorge we will relate. im a loner s, stick to myself have maryial arts experience etc, Be Blessed brother from a fellow Latino'
Jorge love you brother ❤️
Brett interviewing Jorge, Ariel interviewing Nate. ESPN journalism top of its game right now.
Gotta say i prefer the 25 minute type. Even 15 min is good. Second fight in the row they make CTE diaz talk for 1 hour, thats just too much.
Indeed
"journalism" 😂
Food and fighting. Two greatest love of jorge masvidal. Somebody make a mukbang with jorge
I'm glad Brett's covering this
Ahhhh man Im going to my first ufc fight! This is going to be amazing. Fan of the sport for 20 years! Finally going to my first fight! It’s to see diaz and masvidal! Also Johnny walker is fighting, who I believe will be champion. I said the same thing about usman 2 years ago. Till fight is gonna be good too. Going to be a wild night!!!!
Do you happen to know if there will be any events going on with the fighters before the fight?
In 20 to 30 years this will seem like we're watching Roberto Duran in his prime. We're lucky AF to be living in the TH-cam era!!!
TH-cam makes people suicidal
Born and Raised in Miami-Dade County. Lived about 30 min. from Westchester. Love hearing the stories. It was a crazy time and area to grow up in. Lot of friends didn't make it. Happy to still be living down here but moved about 2 hours south to the Florida Keys. Just far enough to get away but not be far from Home. Masvidal is definitely the Hometeam Fighter for everyone who grew up and live in the 305.
About time they showed us more of these fighters life style ect 👌
14:42 Brett seems like a undercover cop
Jorge really carried this interview. Is this that guys first time interviewing?
No it's not lol he interviews fighters quite a bit but never in the ghetto lol
Whats wrong with him hes chill? Hes just starstuck with Mas that's all.
Jay Scotty yeah probably, masvidal talks to him like a friend but I just felt like the other guy seemed a little nervous
Nyx Elizondo
Brett is good at giving interviewing without pissing off the fighters like Ariel, he’s always chill
Melvin Colon true, he had many questions but there was never a pushy vibe from him. That’s most likely why I was confused by him as an interviewer
Faith over fear ..... the key to success
One of my favorites all time
Mad respect to this man , embracing his time in the limelight very well.
I love how they’re just posted up talking and filming next to some random dudes 2001 Toyota Camry ... he prob peeping out his blinds like who tf are those ppl next to my car? 🤣😂🤣
Foreal thought the same lol
18:30 got me in the feels, my exact childhood. That's why I'm a introvert to this day...
Very well done interview. Love this
Tony ferguson the type of guy to close his eyes while driving to condition his motor skills
Possible the weakest lame tony Ferguson joke I've ever Read.!
Keep trying guy...
Irish Dragon I actually think that’s one of the more clever ones better then a lot of the cheesy ones that make no sense I see
Facts u just didnt get it u goon
@@TerribleTake awesome you enjoyed it, I just find them jokes have been killed been over done far far to much. Just my opinion glad you got a giggle outta it tho.
I'm from hialeah and he ain't lying about going after school or meeting in a back yard and fighting. We used to do that all the time. I've fought countless amount of times
Manuel Alvarez I live in Nebraska but I’m also from Hialeah... I went to Jose Marti middle school bunch of fights there then in Barbara gomez
Ok, great!
The more i see about this guy the more i like him. So relatable. Straight forward and cool
He me brought lots of memories.
staying humble, and going back home even when it looking good.
Masvidal vs diaz main event
brett vs Ariel co-main event
Make it happen dana!
Dana White vs Cris Cyborg and Armando Nunes vs Fedor
Love the stories
Very humble guy ,masvidal
