Jorge Masvidal ’s MMA career came to an end at UFC 287 where he announced his retirement following a unanimous decision loss to Gilbert Burns in his hometown of Miami. Masvidal, 38, leaves on a four-fight losing streak that includes two title-fight defeats to then-welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, a lopsided decision against rival Colby Covington , and Saturday’s setback against Burns. Those four losses were Masvidal’s follow-up to a breakthrough 2019 when he knocked out Darren Till in London , landed a record 5-second knockout on Ben askren , and defeated Nate Diaz in their “BMF” title fight at UFC 244.
