From fighting in a backyard for scraps to fighting in front of millions for millions, happy retirement Jorge, thanks for inspiring

Props to UFC for including this entire speech uncensored. Such a great event!

As someone who has played hockey his whole life I can relate to what he said about not feeling the same when he gets in there anymore. Getting older sucks because you know what you need to do and your body just doesnt do it. You had a great career man thanks for the great fights

I don't know about fighters but us fans will miss Jorge. He was a true journeyman an a dangerous one at that. From backyards with the legend.R.I.P. KIMBO to making millions. Thanks Jorge for your career. I'm happy to be able to say I watched him. It was an honor.

Man paid his dues 20 years in mma an absolute legend of the sport.

Burns hitting the griddy w/ his kid is all I needed to see😂

It's a sad day for MMA, Jorge was a true legend. Thanks for everything you've done.

A real man that earned everything he deserves. Thank you for a great career journey that we got to enjoy with you.

His run in 2019 was legendary

We knew this day would come eventually... I remember watching his backyard fights on the computers in high school over fifteen years ago. What a great ride it all must have been. Say goodnight to the bad guy, people. Happy Retirement, Jorge.

Amazing career Jorge masvidal. Miami legend. 305 legend. Street legend. MMA legend. 50+ fight not to many people can say they got that much. True rags to riches story, true inspiration.Enjoy yourself sir❤️❤️❤️

Win or lose...Jorge is forever a Miami legend..real "from the bottom to the top"..and he did it the right way, just grinding..no PEDs just work...inspiring the youth of this great city.

Coming from street fights with kimbo slice, to yhe fast knockout in history. Winning 35 out of 52 fights with barley any collie flower ear. What a legend 🥂

It felt like just yesterday this guy was on top of the world fighting for titles and what not, to now retiring. This is a brutal sport.

This dude is what America is all about. Chasing dreams!!!

Living Legend. Thank you, Jorge. Thank you for all the memories and especially thank you for your good soul, your principled approach to life and the pursuit of happiness. God bless you and your family as you continue to make your mark on the world!

I was 16 when I saw Masvidal fight for the first time in the UFC, now I'm 26. Dude lasted a long time, hope he has a good life after this! Thanks for the memories Jorge and all the sacrifice you did for us fans!

Man will miss jorge a true legend from the backyard fights to PPV he’s proof anyone can do it if you work for it much respect jorge enjoy retirement

This made me emotional man. Especially his message for us to fight and push for our dreams. Love you Jorge

Quickest K.O in UFC, Backyard brawler from the Kimbo days, comes out to the Scareface theme, Subs Chiesa, K.Os Till in his Prime, almost K.O ed Colby Gets caught in the scariest reverse triangle choke ever against Toby Imada looks like he's going to die, refuses to tap f talk about death before dishonor the guys a gangsta, made a blood bath of Nath for the BMF belt and after that Nath went on to almst take out the nw Champion Man what a veteran of the sport so sad to see him go

This one hurt. Thanks for everything Jorge Masvidal. A real BMF. Sadly we could see age caught up with him. His timing, speed is that step behind that unfortunately is the difference with the top guys. Glad he stayed true to his word and called it quits when he realised. The man was an entertainer and one of the best strikers to grace the octagon.

Much appreciation and respect for Jorge Masvidal. Still going at it over 20 years in combat sports, Thank you so much Gamebred.

Happy for him man. I still remember watching him fight Ray in the old school backyard brawls, I had no idea who he was back then, but seeing him take on the much bigger guy and beating him was always very inspiring. To think he went from that, to become one of the biggest faces in the sport is incredible. Good job Jorge, ojalá y ahora ganes más millones como promotor y negociante jajaja.

Might’ve had a losing streak but he’s had a hell of a career that no one can take away from him

Thank you Jorge Masvidal for the unforgettable moments you've given us throughout your remarkable career. Your fighting spirit and dedication have been an inspiration to many, and we wish you all the best in your retirement. Thank you for everything and best of luck in your future.

Guy’s like Donald Cerrone and Jorge Masvidal may have not won a UFC belt, however they still did a lot for the MMA world and will always be legend’s.

Congrats to Jorge for chasing his dream and going from backyard fights to being the maincard on ppv fights and selling out madison square garden and competing for the title twice in two weight divisions. He over came set backs, losses, but kept grinding and never gave up on his dream and entertained us and ended his career as a star. Getting older sucks. Your body just can't do or respond the way you want it too and used to. You feel yourself slowly declining and you can't pvercome it. A bigger thing with aging and maturing, is how you fundamentally see the world and what you think is important and want changes. Becoming a champion, winning a title, the fame and money that comes with it seems like the most important thing in life and that when you achieve or win it, you'll be complete and happier, your value as a human being will increase and you'll be worthy. And honestly, when your in your teens, in your twenties, early thirties.....it feels amazing and you find that it does those things for you...but when you get older, in your mid thirties and up....idk why but you change as a person When you get older, around that window....suddenly those things don't seem as important or special, you don't desire or want them like a younger man, they no longer appear shiny or important and no longer bring you the fulfillment. You can't get as excited or desperate for them. Then you realize that you are competing in a game...playing a game....a silly game....a game, something children do for fun. In Jorge's case, competing and trying to win the title no longer looked like it used to....instead he realized he was going inside a giant dog cage to fight another man with rules in front of drunk screaming dudes in basically only boxer briefs for what? To win a metal belt eventually? What will that do? MMA isn't like a real fight, Jorge has fought 50 pro fights, trained 20 plus years, as a martial artist what does he gain from competing??? The entire thing eventually as you age seems bizarre and silly. He is no longer the pitbull in the box looking fight to please his owner and the crowd watching so that he can feel important and loved. So i get what he means by it no longers feels the same to fight. Besides your body not being the same and you know you are declining, you know longer have that youthful excitement and desire for the title....instead it feels more boring and weird and no longer want to do it.

Hes an OG and a conservative man who fled a communist country. Nothing but respect wish him the best and colby were friends and squashed their beef now that hes retired.. Thanks for the 20 years of amazing fights Gamebred!!

Ah this is sad man, wish we could relive Masvidal’s whole run in the ufc. He definitely contributed making it what it was, the askren ko, he was always a solid competitor against any other fighter big up Jorge 💙

Thank you Jorge Masvidal for so many entertaining fights. What a legend

King of kick boxing is retired forever😢 And the BMF. Man .. From scrap to a wrap, what an inspirational guy he is

Much respect to Jorge for his career accomplishments.

Thank you Jorge Masvidal! From the trenches to PPV 🔥

Man, Jorge is part of the reason I started watching UFC. Glad he got to retire in the same place it all started 20 years ago. I hope we still see him around. Maybe next to Joe and Daniel? Congrats brother and good luck to ya!

Hell yeah dude. Thanks for the great fights. You lived the dream and survived it. Great speech, being a man and saying whats on your mind. Amazing.

He's definitely a legend of this game 🙌🏻 gonna miss ya

World record knockout TKO speed, he still has that on his belt and nobody can take it Big up Jorge

From the backyard fights to a super-star in the UFC. We are going to miss you champ!

What an exit interview! Happy retirement Mr Masvidal

legend happy retirement sirr !

Amazing fighter! I feel his best chance to win the belt was back in 2017 when he lost the title eliminator to Demian Maia in a close split decision. He then took a year and a half off after the wonderboy fight before his golden run in 2019. Unfortunately age caught up to him after the Usman fights. Congratulations on a fantastic career Jorge, enjoy retirement and time with your family 🙌

Hell yeah pro-America speech right there! One of my favorite fighters i wish him an awesome retirement.

Gilbert and his kids in the beginning. 🤣🤣🤣 so cute.

This made me tear up. This kind of stuff gives me hope in this country. Happy retirement to masvidal as well, great guy

Animal, pure animal. Absolute legend of the sport, no matter is achievements. God speed Jorge

hands down to the greatest journeyman of all times

This man at 18 had no clear path to the good life. This man at age 38 is a multi-millionaire is getting thumbs-up from a US President with millions of fans and a future with plenty of options and offers. Only in America, man.

It's funny how people are calling Jorge a legend. The truth is the guy was a glorified jounreyman. He wasn't elite level. He potrayed a persona and people bought into it. Viloence, execution..blah blah blah. Though good for him and his fam that he made all that money. But there are way better fighters than him who never got the recognition.

Gotta love Masvidal. True sportsman through and through.

Fan from a far but dude managed to get into my sports world. Salute Jorge. Enjoy your retirement and thank you for entertaining us

Seeing fighters retire is so sad. Watched him fight for years. Thank you for entertaining us

Man 2019 Jorge was My favorite fighter Time catches up to all of us! Good luck Gamebred

Jorge Masvidal *always made weight* for all of his fights. Congratulations on a successful clean athletic career Jorge!

Masvidal esse cara e um lutador incrível sou fã desse cara parabéns

Definitely worthy of recognition, a superstar in the UFC. That run in 2019 was one of the most memorable and impressive series of fights. Although the ending was brutal I hope the bmf enjoys retirement

'Put your house on me' - George 'Phony Montana' Masvidal Thanks I'm homeless now and my battery is low

I am not a huge Masvidal fan but none the less, thank you for the great entertainment, memorable moments, and putting your body on the line. Have a great retirement and enjoy your much deserved rest! GAMEBRED!!

"LET'S GO BRANDON!!!" -Jorge "Street Jesus" Masvidal

From underground fights with Kimbo slice by his side. How is he not a legend? He is the story of a brawler. Sure, not born and raised in a dojo or gym, but he came from the streets. Somewhere, many of us are today, truly inspiring and showing you. Anything is possible. I still remember watching Jorge fight Ray on KZbin when I was a kid. To say he JIST retired. Is crazy.

So many haters said burns will retire Jorge. But now they are saying "I gonna miss masvidal" can't you just respect him before the fight?

INCREDIBLE to me that Jorge even took THIS fight at THIS particular moment. What with all of the stress/pressure of a trial. Much respect at Gamebred. Not sure I'd retire though. He might feel different by July 4th. (trial etc all over)

Kimbo would would be proud

Best octagon interview ever!! LGB!!

Been watching this kid since he was fighting in backyard in street dvds… you joined the ufc early in its conception… you given us a lot of entertainment and even gave us kimbo RIP… don’t ever be ashamed of going out that way… you def put in that pain for this game! Much respect

Thank you Jorge you weren’t elite champ never but still i was and will be your fan for life, what a great story to fight from Miamis backyards to become one of the most decorated and fan favorite fighters in the world and close his career chapter in hometown ! Happy retirement, great that you are now richer than you wished to be !

Thanks for 20 years of bangers Jorge, haven’t always rooted for you but I’ve enjoyed your fights win or lose every time, enjoy retirement mate ❤️

That was about as good as an ending we could have hoped for. Dude does not move the same anymore unfortunately, reflexes were way off. Awesome career, and a legend in the sport.

Thanks for everything Jorge ❤

Man's still the BMF. Thanks for giving us some of the greatest energy, and badass fights. Win or lose. You're a legend. Let's smoke a blunt.👊

Thank you for everything you gave to the sport to entertain us. True warrior. From Something to Everything. Always had it and knew it.

Not a huge fan because we would never get along with our personalities but I have to write something to honor his legendary career. How someone can fight for 20 years professionally and still be able to walk, is literally beyond my understanding. Thanks for all the memories and I wish you great health and luck to new adventures!

Jorge didnt look the same, as a fan of him I'm glad he retired. He was tired after the 1st round. Age caught up.

My favorite fighter just retired, what do I do now? Oh yeah my other favorite fighter just got his belt back. You 2 made the sweetest game cover though, hands down the most badass. Some GTA shit!

Love his antics. Hapy retirement to the only BMF champ 🙌

Que recuerdos viendo las peleas de Kimbo, luego Strike Force y la última era. Lástima que no pudo campeonar el UFC.

Great effort out their tonight Jorge. You put it all on the line and even though you weren't victorious tonight, you are victorious in life. You did what 99% of people couldn't do in your situation from your upbringing. From fighting in backyards for $100 to fighting in front of thousands for millions. You're an inspiration bro. Anyone that hates on you doesn't truly understand or respect the grind and suffering it takes to be truly successful. Thank you.

The did the best KO in the entire MMA history. Legendary fighter.

“I don’t feel the same when I get in here any more” must be such a hard realization to come to😢

It's been great to see this man competing all these years what a career a street fighter from the back yard what a character ......gonna miss this guy ......fighters may fall but the legends remain

Say anything about him but this man is a real OG never ducked anyone and my man came from fighting in the street to having the fastest knockout in MMA history the MMA world will never forget you Jorge❤

Man...didn't expect him to go through with it! But! Thanks for the memories fam! Happy retirement

Going to miss this dude. End of his career wasn't great but he was always down to fight and gave me some memories I'll never forget. Till. Askren. Diaz. Kamaru 1. All the Kimbo fights. Era. Over

Shout out Jorge for being a warrior remember watching him as 14 yr old when KZbin first came out with the Kimbo fights what a career 1ove from Hawaii 🙏🏽🤙🏽

THANK YOU TO JOEGE MASVIDAL FOR AN AMAZING Career 👏

Thanks Jorge. You've inspired me to get better at my 9-5. Dale. 🙏🇨🇺

We will miss you bro, a true G

I love this guy for shouting out former president. Respect

Good job, Masvidal. Such an inspiring career. I remember being 15 yo sitting in the ruins of my home due to the blitz, 7 month after WW2 ended, watching him fight. I’m 35 now, never forgotten that moment.

the best outro ever

Love this guy, he’s thankful to the sport and also a great fighter. Best of luck with whatever he decides to do next 😊

I watched that ,kimbo bg fight during 2011 and was instantly super impressed by the og masvidal. I was always excited for his fights. Glad he made it through to become a multimillionaire coming from the streets. Love you JORGE, you had a great career ❤

Great street fighter and has a lot of fights at 50. Thank you Jorge Masvidal for all the memories. Enjoy the retirement.

Thank you for the memories Jorge!!! Always a warrior thru thick and thin. Much respect
