'GameBred' has been called about a beef between him and one of the greatest personalities in MMA.
Jorge Masvidal was planning to have his Octagon return in April with the promotion that returned to Miami, Florida two years after he announced his retirement.
With UFC 314 on April 12, which is already taking shape, the inaugural BMF title holder cannot be seen anywhere, but that has not stopped others from calling him.
He is mentioned in addition to various boxing competitions with the name of Masvidal that has recently been used by KSI as KSI.
Masvidal has also proposed in recent weeks to move a career in politics without further updates when he will compete again in MMA.

Oban Elliott calls Jorge Masvidal about Chael Sonnen Beef
One of the greatest feud in MMA in the past year or so was between Jorge Masvidal and Chael Sonen.
Although 'The Bad Guy' has spoken about the opportunity to compete against 'GameBred', it seems unlikely that the 47-year-old will make that leap, even if he shared the ring with Anderson Silva last year.
What Sonnen has done instead is an active UFC hunter nominating as his champion at Welterweight Oban Elliott who repeatedly calls for a fight with Masvidal on social media.
Elliott has regularly cited Sonnen as one of his greatest inspirations and heroes, which leads to a number of moving moments between them now that the Welshman is in the UFC.
'The Welsh Gangster' made his Octagon debut in February last year and won three consecutive fights and earned a performance bonus on UFC 309 last November for his knockout about Bassil Hafez in Madison Square Garden.
The 27-year-old recent appeared on the Ariel Helwani show where he again spoke about the prospect to fight against Masvidal, or another substantial name such as Vicente Luque.
After the response to the names that Elliott brought forward, the emerging competitor posted this message to anyone who accused him of looking at too many steps ahead and defended his callouts.
“Boys – Chael has put me to work on Masvidal. Why the F – wouldn't I want to fight against Masvidal Lol? Easy work. The story is that Luque would be a great fight. For both of us. The best fight the best in the UFC! Let's go! “
Who could fight Jorge Masvidal on his return?
After four consecutive losses, Jorge Masvidal walked away from the UFC in 2023 and claimed that if he could not compete at the top of the sport, it was time to make his exit.
With that in mind, it is not logical to throw the veteran back into the deep, but there are still nice fights for him when he does his return.
Vicente Luque called Masvidal after his impressive performance against Themba Gorimbo on UFC 310 and that seems to make a lot of sense.
A rematch with Stephen Thompson in five rounds would be another seductive matchup, although it would be no different than the UFC to match Masvidal with a rising star like Carlos Prates to put him in the spotlight.
