After realizing retirement wasn't the right path for him, Masvidal returned to training and was presented with an opportunity to venture into the world of boxing. Despite still being under contract with the UFC, Masvidal is excited about this new chapter in his career.
Future Fights and Challenges
While Masvidal has made amends with Jake Paul, a potential fight with the YouTube star won't be hindered by their friendship. Masvidal is looking forward to facing crossover stars and influencers in the boxing ring as he transitions from MMA to traditional boxing.
