JORGE MASVIDAL: Usman Fights, Kimbo Slice Backyard Brawls || Pound 4 Pound Kamaru Usman Henry Cejudo

Jorge Masvidal!!! Kamaru and Jorge reunite outside the octagon to chop it up on the P4P pod. The guys reflect on growing up as childhood immigrants, and the light at the end of that tunnel for Masvidal: scrapping. A lot happens on the journey from flunking ESL courses to becoming the UFC BMF champion and a multimillionaire fighter, promoter, and...reality TV star??? The multi-hyphenate Masvidal tells us all about it. Jorge and Kamaru take us behind-the-scenes for their historic bouts - one of which is still regarded as the top selling PPV event for the UFC. Spoiler alert - the Nigerian Nightmare and Gamebred are two brawlers that know how to stand on business. They discuss the Flying Knee heard around the world, and how the events leading up to, and following, that moment that perfectly symbolize the ethos of UFC: anything can happen. Jorge gives us a fist-hand account of the UFC's development in Miami - going all the way back to his experience at UFC 42 as a wide-eyed 17-year-old. Then, of course, flashbacks to his bouts with Nate Diaz, and a taste of what's to come in July, where Masvidal will leave behind his lethal head kicks (and, obviously, knees) for a straight up boxing match with Diaz. He's confident. You don't need to be a die-hard to know this one is big. As always, thank you to UnderDog Fantasy for sponsoring the show.
