I magically ran into masvidal in April at zion national park on top of angels landing and ran into Jorge. I yell out JORGE, and he comes up to me, and we start talking. The most humble, cool dude, fighter, or not. Glad I heard this Vlad interview. I forever will be a huge fan of my dawg the real BMF. Mad respect

[@zacharyharris438]

Funny how ppl who never met the dude a day in their life can have any opinion on the man and his character, same for anyone lol. What you watched a few videos and you know him? Lol. Dude seems like a narcissistic douche to me....someone who sneaks someone and runs is a snake in the grass, especially someone who is a pro fighter should know better. What if he killed dude by accident? It's rare but it does happen. Ppl have been killed by accident in simple bar fights......not how grown men act, let alone pro fighters.....lmao

[@kylelayton9520]

I remember seeing jorge back in the kimbo days around 2006 when they called him ponytail. I rooted against him because he was fighting kimbos protege and I was a kimbo fan. He won both fights and earned my respect. Years later I was watching a ufc fight night and jorge was fighting and they brought up how he fought in the backyards with kimbo. Looked him up and was like holy shit that's ponytail!!! Been a fan ever since. Became a superfan after he knocked out till and served the 3 peice and soda to leon

Best part of the interview was when Vlad asked about Kevin Holland and Jorge said “who’s dat” then Vlad got all confused missing the joke haha I was a big fan of Jorge but after his 2019 year he deserved every praise and recognition but I felt like it got to his head a bit. It was then he thought of himself more like a businessman fighting for money and being really flashy instead of having that killer mindset which is what got him there. Just my opinion

People always talk about jorge catching colby on the street but colby is the one who talked crazy and knew what the potential repercussions could be for that. Play with fire, youre gunna get burned. Jorge is a stand up dude and stood behind his word. On some street shit jorge is a dog and grinded his way to the highest organization and made lots of money doing it. Whether you like him or not i feel you gotta respect it. I respect the guy who stands on what he believes in, standing up for his kids and respect, win or lose over a guy who runs his mouth for views and a paycheque.
