Daniel Cormier Raises Concerns About Jorge Masvidal’s Potential Return to UFC
After a brief retirement from MMA, Jorge Masvidal is contemplating a return to the octagon. However, UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier has reservations about Masvidal’s comeback.
Cormier questions Masvidal’s decision to return, citing his recent string of losses and age as potential factors to consider.
“Jorge Masvidal should be commended for his rise to stardom, but his recent performance raises doubts about his ability to compete at the highest level,” Cormier stated on his YouTube channel.
Cormier highlights Masvidal’s peak in 2019 and questions whether fans still have the same level of interest in him today.
Masvidal’s breakout victories in 2019 propelled him to superstardom, but his subsequent losses have raised concerns about his future in the sport.
Despite Masvidal’s past success, Cormier believes that fans may not be as invested in his return to the octagon given his recent performance.
“Masvidal’s journey to stardom was remarkable, but the current landscape of the sport may not be as forgiving,” Cormier commented.
Cormier emphasizes the importance of Masvidal’s opponent in determining fan interest, suggesting that a high-profile matchup would be necessary to reignite excitement.
The potential matchup between Masvidal and Michael Chandler has been floated, but the level of anticipation remains uncertain.
While Cormier expresses reservations about Masvidal’s return, he acknowledges that he would still tune in to watch the fight unfold.
“Masvidal’s legacy is secure, but the question remains: can he recapture his past glory in the octagon?” Cormier pondered.
