- Jorge Masvidal sits down with Ariel Helwani to discuss his rise to mainstream popularity, leading to a main event fight vs. Nate Diaz at UFC 244 in Madison Square Garden. Masvidal credits his time on a reality show to help him focus and develop a plan for the rest of his career. (10:38) Masvidal describes how his father’s time in jail taught him lessons about life and to stay out of trouble. “Gamebred” also talks about (18:01) the struggles he had early in his career, including living in his car for 4-5 months and under the ring at his gym. (21:35) Helwani asks Masvidal about the similarities he sees between himself and Diaz as well as how the (26:40) beef with Colby Covington developed.

I like the fact Jorge and Nate are getting the respect that they deserve as of recently. Both are old school BMF's win or lose.
100% it's the fighters the real fans want to watch. These guys been working hard for years respect to both men they deserve it.
This is legit one of the only PPV’s I’ll buy. I’ll gladly support these two OG’s.
I wish nick would come back
Win Or Lose! Fasho!
If one feels "old" at 40 than yo you need change your own lifestyle Haha not all feel or whatever the fxck haha get your life right and what works for you. Check it....when you start doing "good"...are there others tell you no that's bad idea? Question their intentions cuz they bs bro.
From Backyards to the Garden, this man is an inspiration to everyone he's one of the greats
Agreed, what a role model.
Are you going to be a fighter? Or just work harder now????
Joe Z. Believe it or not, you can have role models that are in different career fields
One of the greats is too much but he is inspirational
He has the inkas warrior dna in him
Ariel seriously was asking for a 3 piece and a XL soda with those jail questions
No “threeee pice and a sodah”
Jordan23 bruh 😂😂😂
You are overly sensitive.... Have a Steak and lay off the soy & salad....
Btw ....Jordans are for customers... Sneaker Shopping with Complex is a commercial... Stack Old Vintage .999 Silver Bars instead...... Collect Money, Not Sneakers...... Be a Boss, Not a Customer..
Fifa 2020 Fun fact: Soy is fed to the cows and that’s where the protein comes from 😂
exactly, but this guy is so cool that he just answers them anyway.
I lost 80lbs these passed 9 months and have uploaded every workout session to inspire and motivate others. Believe in yourself and you will accomplish anything! It's never too late to change your life.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I love the pun 🇨🇺 ❤😂
@Never Broke Again doesn't have that many likes because it's been said numerous times
@DB Cooper's MoneyBags yo, bags what up.
I know I'll see you on the comments every few weeks.
How *did you feel about the main in Mexico?
Motivation Man you need more likes!
Jorge came to the studio so corporate Jake can't cut him off again 😂
“Corporate Jake? Corporate Jake sounds racist!”
Nah i'm cutting you guys short now. - masvidal
Epic wreck!
Someone explain this
Ew Muva every time Jorge calls in, they have timer on phone segments to keep the show on schedule. Jorge and Ariel have good talks and often go over.. the producer of the show “corporate jake” often makes Ariel cut it short.
Hence, Jorge showing up in person so Corporate Jake can’t strike
Masvidal is making an appearance everywhere ahead of this fight, and I’m all here for it.
All for it or here for all of it?
Lets hope he is training as much as he is flashing atm. He needs to sharpen that game now- Diaz aint No joke
@@Erumyr Facts
@@Erumyr Im rooting for Diaz but Im for sure expecting Masvidal to give him a hard fight, i wanna see blood in that octagon boy
"They wanna see pure violence, they don't wanna see pure hugging."
10:29 Ariel wants to get hit by a cuban missile🤣🤣
Thanks man
One of few guys I can actually listen to for 30 minutes
Go watch Miami hustle bro I've been watching it at least 5 times a year for the last 4 years lol it's so interesting
@@SonOftheBattleCry I'll check it out, cheers man
@@JLmopr come back and tell me what you think
He was on Joey Diaz podcast twice I believe.
@@SonOftheBattleCry lol ya its dope
Masvidal does great interviews. Always good listening to him
He aint the A-Side tough.
Better than most UFC fighters to listen too,most are pretty boring actually
ok then and?
George: "Its hard for me not to slap you right now"
Facts
13:25
Ariel - "So he's from Cuba, your mom's from Peru"
Jorge - "Yes Ma'am"
😂
Think he says "yes man"
Much respect to Jorge for opening up and sharing his trials and tribulations with us. He's come a long way, Miami/Dade can be a unforgiving place. Very inspirational!
Someone please make a montage of jorge randomly shadow boxing😂
Nate does that to 😀
2:47 "We got time Dawg" my guy Ariel is like cmon bruh
@MMA Addict lol yeah man i just heard it, i died :D
The most unnatural "dawg" ever hahahaha
Killed me
Ariel: How was jail
Jorge: I’m going to baptize you
Somehow someway colby is watching this dying inside
Once he sorted his hairstyle everything changed.
Street Jesus
Nah the long hair goes way back, he just took a break from it
Richard Dixon 😂😂😂😂
@@MustObeyTheRules he used to keep his hair short for the 155 weight cut, he said now at 170 he can grow it out cuz the weight cut isnt bad
Ethan Peden and way back before any of that, he had it long. Kimbo slice called him man bun in the backyard fights before he could even grow a beard
Who remembers back in 2016 when Masvidal was in the MMA Hour with short hair talking about his street fighting days and eating McDonalds during camp?
Time flies.
Pft I remember him from the kimbo slice backyard fights!
@@xYouthAttackx Yeah I do too but I am more so referencing the last time Helwani and Masvidal did an interview in this manner and it was three years ago. A lot has changed within that time.
Yup. It's good to see him here
Yeah, good times
@@xYouthAttackx Pft I remember him from kindergarten food fights!
I wish Ariel would have asked him about kimbo slice...
Word!!
He has in previous interviews
What is there to watch
@@shade4520 are you asking?
@@MetalFacedGamer I think hes asking where he can watch that
The jail part of the video starts at 9:20sh 👍🏽
10:30
Ariel : "so you don't want to talk about that you went jail ?"
Jorge : " skippp !!"
Ariel : " okayy, so let's talk about your father "
Jorge : " yeah "
Ariel : " so he went to jail as well " 😂😂😂😂
That's why rampage never liked him 🤣
@@jpaul1871
Rampage and Ariel have a chemistry like none
Aman Sharma lool😄😂
That was sneaky, but fu*kin funny 😂😂😂
I can see why fighters don't like him lol
13:24
Ariel "so your Dad is from Cuba and your mom is from Peru?"
Jorge: "yes ma'am"
😂😂
🤣
Underrated comment😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
But he ain't no west coast G tho 😆😆😆😆😆
One of these videos I wished I could like twice. This is exactly what I’ve been wanting to know about Masvidal. Thanks Jorge and thanks Ariel for that deep interview.
WOW That was the best interview ive ever seen. This guys made me feel so inspired ive been clean off drugs for months. no joke.
If Masvidal knocks Diaz out, he will become the biggest thing in MMA!
Mark Walmsley he has a less than 50% ko rate, he will not knock Diaz out. Till has zero defence and askren only knows how to wrestle. Great ko s but Diaz is a different breed to those. Two
Won't happen.
@@guiguijol I don't think it will happen, but if it does then he will be the biggest thing in MMA. Nate had never been knocked out (according to nick), the closest anyone has come was Thompson.
However if Jorge can somehow manage it, he is career is going to the next tier up afterwards! He will gain those nutty fans like Nate and Conor have
Will happen
@@lukaCOOKIE I know, but Nate is likely to get knockout at some point. I doubt it will happen but if it does.....
This man is a freaking motivation man. So much respect...
Glad your Motivated
I know MAN!!!!
🤡
I just love this man’s soul. He has been through so much hard times. The relationship with his father is beautiful. God Bless Jorge
you really came with good deep questions ariel, stuff i wouldn't have ever known about jorge otherwise. thank you.
The world makes much more sense to
me now that Masvidal and bisping are cool.
It was kinda fun while they weren't cool though...lol
He respected Bisping even though he didnt want to admit because Bisping always kept the same energy even when they met outside the ring. So eventually they both squashed it.
Man it makes everything better haha
frank frank
Awesome and underrated comment. Bisping is a UK gangsta who will throw down and Jorge is cut from the same cloth. It’s awesome watching Bisping fights and Masvidal fights on fight pass
Their careers are similar in many ways
"everybodys always talking about the eyes, the eyes and the eyes, but guess what? I poke them out, I poke them out!" - Yair 'bones' Rodriguez
His eye was a balloon
Lol
😂😂😂
The jail questions got me dead 💀 this dude is savage asf 10:29
I love this guys questions and audacity to ask them. Keep it comin Ariel!
His story hits home. Hope he gets the win. He deserves it.
They both deserve it. Nate and his bro had a rough up bringing
I dig the Diaz brothers too man.
Let’s go Diaz
Lmfao
Masvidal is getting those bags making so much media
Jorge talking about his mom's work ethic really hit home 👊❤
Could be your best interview. Thank you, gents.
"Colby Covington was never my friend"
- Jorge Masvidal
he was his friend, but that dude never looked at him as friend instead used him,
Quiill other way around, Colby is a BACKSTABBER
@The Chosen One Just hype created to feed the fan's boy fantasies.
Every second of Jorge speaking has entertainment value. I hope somebody sees the potential in him when he retires.
True story
Of course someone will. Even the great Chael P. Sonnen already recognizes his potential as a promo guy. Masvidal will be just fine, don’t you worry. Can’t wait to see if he can crack the legendary diaz chin.
You've done plenty of events for UFC Espanol.
Perhaps you don't speak Spanish or have no reason to turn into those types of channels but he's for sure been on TV before and other things for years.
Not like everyday but a fair amount.
I'm sure you can find a lot of it on YT
Very amazing and good to see such type of videos created by u all
absolutely fantastic interview
5:55 - 6:30 "and you can call me mystic mac cause I predict these tings"
- Jorge McMasvidal
I thought the same xD
McMasvidal 😂😂😂😂
Was thinking the same thing. Without letting the performance he puts on for the media and everything clouding your judgment Connor and Jorge are honestly pretty similar in many ways. Both very impenetrable mindsets and not afraid to be themselves and not afraid of anyone. Also dress pretty sharp too
Lol
"Can I ask about your father? He's been to jail as well..."
That was sly.
Lol
Mark Walmsley hes a jew. Welcome to reality.
That cracked me up rofl ariel you fool
i broke out laughing
This interview was awesome. He should come more often to the show.
This is a really good interview I enjoyed it
Your getting my money Jorge and Nate ! Im tooooo hyped
"we got time dawg."- Ariel Helwani
True dat
I’m so happy for this cat I hope more blessings come his way
What an amazing interview. Glad he found himself and is on a roll. He's confident, thoughtful and ready. I'm hyped for this fight!
Helwani always stirring mess lol
So, he had an affair with one of the MMA judges kids. LOls
LOL
The judge at the Al fight
what ? spill the tea 😩
One? It was at least 3 of them.
@@LJ-MMA that fight was highway robbery
What a fantastic interview, great questions and awesome conversation. Thanks Ariel
Loved that Interview I'm even more of a Jorge fan now can't wait for the fight 👊🏻
ariel really doing a good job at interviewing Gamebred. I also love the respect between both nate and jorge because they both know what they're been through and know that both are warriors and never give up.
2:48
Jorge: do we have time?
Ariel: we got time dawg 😂😂😂
lol good notice, Ariel got swag lol
Real guy!! Amazing how people get through all the BS and become successful and humble!! Blessings from me*
Jorge's story of reinventing himself is inspiring.
If you came for the jail clip it starts at 10:25
Jorge is a beast, a good interview well handled by jorge.
One of the most engaging people out there . . Cant help wanting to hear more
Masvidal talking about his mom's work ethic brings tears bruh🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thats one of his greatest assets. He gives the coolest Trashtalk and then makes it realtalk by backing it up. The Asswhooping he gave Nate was so epic, it splits the minds of diaz fans. For sure it will always be remembered.
The coolest man in MMA, there is no debate
Respect to this dude. Hard times make tough men.
And tough times make hard men
Danugo 67 then hard men make soft times, then soft times make soft men
@@bigballer7587 😂
Biruk Tebaae probably
Jorge is class inside and outside the cage it’s good to finally see fighters get the recognition they deserve
Great interview and questions!!
36m interview with gamebred is gold . Gotta smoke a joint first
Ayeee 👍😜😜😜😜
Lol..haha.yea I'm packing a bowl
MGM Grand Buffet to the face man gamebred*
🔥💯
You’ve got to admire this man, he’s very open and genuine, O’ and he’s a great fighter.
One thing I wont forget is after Jorge had 2 or 3 fights in the UFC, I sent him a Facebook message letting him know I was a fan and I admired how he came up from the streets & Kimbo video to a UFC fighter...and he took the time to reply the same day and just said he appreciated it/wont let us (his fans) down. It was like a 3 sentence thank you but it was cool of him to do. Love Nate too so its a shame one of them has to lose. Hopefully its a war and neither lose stock.
Jorge and Nate are living legends, 20 years after they retire we'll look back and remember these were the best times of UFC, and we're living it now
Jorge is a real one 💯
D B yeah right
Idiot he baptized to suckers before this, do you have anything intelligent to say
Nate will TKO him. Nate's boxing is underrated his combinations are precise and the man has cardio for days! #209
doubt it maia couldent and hes hes far better at bjj and maia had his back alot in that fight
Masvidal KO’s him in the 4th.
Been watching Game for a while. I’m glad he’s getting recognition & manifesting his potential and dreams. 💯💪🏼
Bill Blass man yes haha & they were kickin it with those two girls. Shame dude did his homie dirty over the fight game but it is what it is. They both helped each other though. Even though I don’t agree with Colby and how he’s handling all this. He helped masvidal excel his take down defense & what not
oh man, can't wait for this fight.
such a great interview, thank you
great interview as always Ariel. always pulling insight from the subject
Always pulling inside his Shnoz
ARIEL " THE SHNOZ " HELWANI
This mans as real as it gets.
This guy would be loyal to the end if he considered you a friend I reckon.
Ofcourse
Really digging this new format Ariel! Nice!
Gamebred all day. Wasnt a fan of his in the beginning but u got to RESPECT n LOVE what hes doing, what he saying, what hes all about. Keep doing ur thing Jorge
Tony the type of guy to call out Masvidal for the bmf belt after finishing khabib
That would actually be sick uno
Robbie Lee “DEFEND OR VACATE”
Khabib knows deep down Tony is trouble against his style, why you think he is looking for the GSP fight instead.
Talk about opposite fighters
Love from london.. SUPER NECESSARY
The jail part is on 9:40
Legend
Lmao he even got his fathers full story bruh
@@ohmy9261 yeah lol
Ariel Helwani seems to be the new DjVlad of ufc/espn lol, look out for officer Helwani
Vlad str8 feds
Facts
Culture vulture
"Reverse engineer your career" - his outlook is awesome...
Man I remember watching Masvi fight on the Kimbo street fighter undercard against Ray back in 05 then finding out he was a pro fighter I’ve followed it since this dude is an inspiration and a Miami STAPLE....🙏🏾🙏🏾
dude he's so chill and honest
Masvidal has been flying all over the place, doing interviews, going to UFC events as a guest fighter. I just hope all this newfound fame doesn't mess with his training and performance on Nov 2nd.
Pseudosurfer sure he won’t forget in 3mths. Gotta hype the fight up cause he making millions off it.
Didint you hear him lol Hes always ready to fight 😝😝
Jorge loves to drill technique over n over think he'll be okay
Did a lot of us work at least 10 hour days and we still find time to go other places for an hour or 2.
Ariel is one annoying interviewer lol Certain questions he asks are so unnecessarily provocative. This could easily have been awkward if Jorge was not such a down to earth, good sport!
Maya Gsam Exactly
Nick Diaz would've slapped him
@Jordan that one was entirely annoying haha
He's a jew..what do you expect?
1 thing annoying is, the first line, ...hello how are you. .can he not make a new opening for fucks sake lol, ,some 1 upload a video of how many times with fighters he says, how are u. Areil don't listen, he has questions, pretends to listen thrn next 1, ..tap into his words batty boy,
Can not wait for this fight !!
one of best interviews... well done
Can’t ever not click on a Jorge interview. Been following him since 2008 or so, happy to see him FINALLY get the recognition he always deserved. Many can relate to his story, his upbringing. Myself being one of them. That’s why I’ve always been a fan. On the other hand Nate is guy!!!! Also been following him since TUF. I really don’t mind who wins this.
The best matches are ones where you're more worried who loses
This is the realest fight in ufc history without a doubt
Your channel is very excellent and great job brother!!
You can tell this man is super focused and motivated to finally cement the respect he's earned through a life of fighting. The division better take notice now.
Tony's the type of guy to make a raft and sail to Cuba
Haha good one not really get some new material
That was pretty good though lol
That’s a awesome one
Masvidal is 100% correct. I was present and training with him when he was 21 years old and everything he said was true. He was the hardest working guy in the training center I was in which was called Freestyle Fighting Academy. He will be Champion, no one will deny him.
Michael Maniloff Colby is not taking the belt from kamaru
nah
@@michaelmaniloff9297 nope 😂
All the love for Jorge is long over due. A true warrior and authentic human being.
i honestly dont care who wins november 2nd, i truly respect both and whoever wins or whoever lose, both will have win for me already, very happy to see them having what they deserve, this interview made me remember once again how life can hit hard sometimes, very happy for Jorge to see him up there. amazing fighter and amazing human being
This guy cracks me up! This is going to be an epic fight. It's what the fans want to see. Authentic real fighters go to war 🙏🏻 respect to both men, they deserve it, BMFs in the game
Helwani is a weasel. Bringing up jail in this guys interview. Masvidal really did not like those questions.
I was coming to see this comment. He said he didn't want to talk about it but he still got some info about of him. Then he said he didn't want to continue talking about it so they stopped, only for Ariel to mention his father and the fact he went to jail. Jorge didn't seem to mind but man he could have. Imo that was a really sneaky move by the nose.
I'm sure Jorge is a big enough boy to say no comment I think
@@NicolaMaxwell he did, three/four times! Then when he finally thought he had stamped out the jail questions he brings up his father being in jail.
Everytime I see the word weasel now I hear it in Leon Scott’s voice
Masvidal told him to come with the good questions?
He’s got a great vocabulary. Love the way he speaks.
Jorge, you are an absolute inspiration! Further, you are an extremely intelligent fighter. Thanks for sharing your journey.
