Jorge Masvidal Eyes UFC Return in 2025

Former UFC star Jorge Masvidal has announced his intention to return to the octagon in April 2025, potentially in Miami. Despite a four-fight losing streak, Masvidal, known for his memorable BMF title win and a rapid knockout of Ben Askren, is eager to make a comeback. The UFC has not yet confirmed the opponent or location for his return, though speculation includes retired fighter Donald Cerrone or rising star Carlos Prates. Masvidal, now 40, recently ventured into boxing but was defeated by Nate Diaz. UFC veteran Daniel Cormier suggests Masvidal's return could serve as a 'passing the torch' moment to a new fighter. This comeback follows Masvidal's focus on his Gamebred MMA Promotions and his previous announcement of a temporary retirement after his loss to Gilbert Burns in 2023.
