Jorge Masvidal knows that his current three-fight losing streak doesn’t look good. This is why he is thinking about calling it quits if it becomes a four-fight losing streak after UFC 287.
Masvidal, one of the fan favorites, is set to face Gilbert Burns at UFC 287 on Saturday’s co-headlining fight in Miami. During an appearance on UFC 287 Countdown earlier this week, the 38-year-old admitted that he might end his career if he doesn’t come out as a winner from the octagon.
“This could be the last one,” Masvidal said. “If I lose, I’m pretty much calling it quits. But a win against Gilbert means that things are headed in the right direction. So if I roll the dice and do everything right, I’m going for it all.”
Despite thinking about retirement, Masvidal believes he is still able to compete at a high level.
“I think I’m at my best right now – my mental (game), my physical – and now I’ve got to go out there and prove it,” he added. “I’ve got my back up against the wall.”
Jorge Masvidal has a 35 -16 record in MMA, including 12-9 in UFC. His most recent fight came more than a year ago at UFC 272 when he lost to Colby Covington via unanimous decision. Prior to that, he lost two UFC Welterweight Championship fights against Kamaru Usman.
