Perhaps we’ll be seeing Jorge Masvidal<\/a> returning to action for at least one more matchup soon? Masvidal is teasing such in a new interview, and it has rumors swirling about what Masvidal could be referencing.<\/p>\n

In an interview with MMAJunkie, Masvidal said that while he isn’t allowed to reveal much right now, he can confirm he has been training at American Top Team in Florida.<\/p>\n

Masvidal says he is in the midst of preparing for “something big.”<\/p>\n

“Some of it is like level-five only access, so I can’t really say too much,” Masvidal said. “I can say it’s some big news. I have some fight news coming soon, and it’s very big news.”<\/p>\n

Jorge Masvidal Willing To Take Any Spot To Be On UFC White House Card<\/p>\n

Plenty of speculation around this news points to the possibility that Masvidal could compete at the UFC White House card on June 14.<\/p>\n

Masvidal is a longtime supporter of U.S. President Donald Trump, and Trump was present for UFC 272. That event saw Masvidal and former teammate-turned-rival Colby Covington, also a devout Trump supporter, facing off in the main event.<\/p>\n

This also comes off the heels of a recent interview UFC CEO and President Dana White did with Complex, shooting down rumors of a Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler matchup for the event.<\/p>\n

White, however, has also shot down the idea of a McGregor vs. Masvidal matchup in the past, worried about a noteworthy size disadvantage for McGregor.<\/p>\n

While Masvidal could not provide more details about his ongoings, he did emphasize the honor it would be to compete at such a unique, once-in-a-lifetime kind of event like UFC White House.<\/p>\n

“Really, just the honor of fighting at the White House card,” Masvidal said. “I’ve fought at the Playboy Mansion, I’ve fought in Russia, I fought in South Korea, South America \u2013 I’ve fought in many places. Madison Square Garden. There’s not too many things I didn’t get to do throughout my career, and a lot of unexpected turns as well…So, I would definitely like to do this because, in my opinion, in my book, I don’t think this gets done again.<\/p>\n

“I get it if people don’t want to fight for the elitists or however they distribute the tickets, but I just want to fight at the White House. I’m a Latin m***********, from immigrant parents on both sides, putting my crafts and skills on display, at the highest level in the White House lawn. Who’s ever done that? Nobody. It should be a great honor for me and also to represent my Latin community.”<\/p>\n

Masvidal’s UFC career ended on a four-fight losing skid, last fighting at UFC 283 in a loss to Gilbert Burns.<\/p>\n

The inaugural BMF belt holder’s last taste of combat action came in July 2024, losing a boxing matchup to Nate Diaz.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Perhaps we’ll be seeing Jorge Masvidal returning to action for at least one more matchup soon?
