It's high praise coming from one of the finest strikers in MMA. The former 'BMF' is known as a vicious headhunter and an assertive brawler. The 39-year-old is retired from the UFC after accumulating four losses in a row but has previously reached the heights of popularity in his career.

Jorge Masvidal himself has one of the craziest finishes in UFC history

Jorge Masvidal was the UFC's most prized possession in 2019. Fans, media, fellow fighters couldn't get enough of him and his confidence irritated some while injecting passion in others. He caused an upset against Darren Till in his home country and was paired against a Bellator and ONE champion.

Ben Askren was a proven grappler and an All-American and the UFC tested him against a sharpshooter. It proved to be a catalyst for the soaring notoriety of 'Gamebred' as he landed a flying knee on 'Funky' and the combat sports world's heads were blown away.

Check out the finish below:

The Miami native is now retired and is running the world's first bareknuckle MMA promotion, 'Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA' before launching another MMA promotion by the name of iKON FC.

In a follow-up to their celebrated 'BMF' bout, Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz will put on boxing gloves to clash in a ring on July 6 in Anaheim, California.
