The wait for Jorge "Gamebred" Masvidal's UFC return might finally be coming to an end. The original "BMF" champion has been on the sidelines, but recent talks suggest a comeback is brewing. In a notable move, Masvidal revealed he turned down a spot on a high-profile Netflix boxing card, holding out for the right opportunity back in the octagon where he made his name.

The speculation gained official traction when UFC CEO Dana White confirmed the promotion is actively in discussions with the fan-favorite fighter. While White noted no deal is finalized, the door is clearly open. Masvidal himself echoed this, stating negotiations are ongoing, albeit with the typical hard-nosed bargaining the UFC is known for. "We're going to get something done, though," Masvidal assured, projecting confidence that a deal will be reached.

At 41, Masvidal is eyeing a strategic return. He prefers a full training camp, targeting a potential fight date in four to five months. While he's open to welterweight, it's all about the opponent. The fight that truly motivates him? A grudge-match rematch with current champion Leon Edwards. "If they give me the Leon fight," Masvidal stated, "I'll get to 170 by tomorrow." His focus is clear: he wants a legacy-defining bout that warrants the long-awaited walk back to the cage.
