"We are not falling for this sh*t again" - Jorge Masvidal slams Bill Gates' warning of a potential new pandemic 

Jorge Masvidal has taken aim at tech mogul Bill Gates for his comments on the threat of another pandemic as the world continues to reel from the effects of COVID-19.

Gates recently suggested that although the effects of COVID-19 have reduced with the vaccines, the threat of pandemics is far from over. The Microsoft head honcho argues that the risk of another pandemic from a different pathogen looms heavy over humanity.

Gates has asserted that being well-prepared could be the difference between life and death in the way the world deals with the next pandemic. He called for greater investment in the sphere of medical science and technology to prevent another pandemic from taking place.

However, Jorge Masvidal is seemingly unconvinced. The No.6-ranked UFC welterweight took to Instagram to share a post that offered insight into his views on Bill Gates' recent comments. He wrote:

"We are not falling for this sh*t again are we?? How much you wanna bet it hits around election time?? I don't care how many computers you fixed. You are not a psychic and nor do I believe them."
