Jorge Masvidal confirmed his return to the UFC in April 2025 during the Fight Back podcast, expressing hope that his opponent will be known by December. He aims to reclaim his status in front of the hometown crowd in Miami after a series of setbacks since his retirement announcement following his loss to Gilbert Burns in April 2023.
Masvidal emphasized his excitement about returning to the Octagon: "I’ll be back April next year in the UFC. We don’t have the opponent yet. Hopefully by December we’ve got the opponent. April, Miami card." This reinforces his commitment to continue fighting at this stage of his career.
After an unsuccessful boxing match against Nate Diaz, Masvidal dove back into MMA with Gamebred Promotions, showcasing his dedication to the sport, stating, "Gamebred has been busy, we recently held a bare-knuckle MMA event in Mississippi. I want to continue being active and give fans what they want to see."
Reflecting on his past successes and setbacks, Masvidal noted, "I gained a lot of mainstream attention after my 2019 success. I want to bring that same energy back in my return and show I still belong among the elite after a rough patch of four straight losses."
