Jorge Masvidal has admitted he will consider retiring from the UFC if he loses to Gilbert Burns this weekend.
UFC veteran Masvidal will return to the octagon this weekend against fellow welterweight contender Burns at UFC 287 on the undercard of Israel Adesanya's rematch with Alex Pereira in Miami. It represents a significant moment in the late stages of Masvidal's career and could be his last chance at pushing to challenge for the title at 170lb, having failed to yet grab the belt despite multiple attempts.
Masvidal is now 38-years-old and has suffered three losses in a row including two against Kamaru Usman and most recently last March against bitter rival Colby Covington. It is considered a make-or-break showdown for 'Gamebred' who has now suggested it could derail his career if he is to come up short.
