Jorge Masvidal is already contemplating a return to action after quitting the UFC just three weeks ago following his fourth straight loss against Gilbert Burns.
The two-time welterweight title challenger earned his shots at the world championship with a stunning run of knockout wins in 2019 that saw him dispose of Darren Till, then-unbeaten Ben Askren and Nate Diaz. He earned fighter of the year, but was unable to recreate the magic at the top table, losing twice to Kamaru Usman before being dominated by Colby Covington and Burns.
His last bout with Burns saw him return to Miami for a massive homecoming card, which drew monster numbers at the box office for the promotion in the co-main event of Israel Adesanya's rematch with Alex Pereira. However, he understood that he was slowing down and opted in the cage to retire from the sport in an emotional moment that is still settling in.
