Jorge Masvidal, a name that resonates in the UFC world, has expressed his desire to make a comeback. His return is anticipated to be at UFC 310, a major event set for December 7th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, or possibly in early 2025 around the Super Bowl. This potential return is not just a fight, but a significant event in the UFC, marking the end of his hiatus since UFC 287.
A potential appearance at UFC 310 would mark Masvidal's first fight since April 2023. After his victorious BMF championship fight at UFC 244, Masvidal faced a series of defeats. His losses to Kamuru Usman 2X, Colby Covington, and Gilbert Burns were a blow to his career. These setbacks, following his significant win, led to Masvidal's retirement.
"It has been a long 20 years, 50-something fights; sometimes your favorite basketball does not have that three-pointer no more, your favorite quarterback loses that rifle. I do not feel the same when I get in here no more. It has been twenty long years; I love all of you." an emotional Masvidal told Joe Rogan following his loss to Gilbert Burns at UFC 287.

Two months ago, Masvidal boxed Nate Diaz in Anaheim, California. This fight was a rematch of the first BMF championship fight in 2019. Diaz won a majority decision.

Two months following his defeat in the boxing ring and sixteen months after he retired from MMA, Masvidal has resolutely stated his intentions to return to the Octagon, a testament to his unwavering determination.
"I'm definitely going back to the UFC and get a W for my city, my family, my kids, for everyone who believes in me. I got to back to UFC,"  Masvidal stated earlier this year on MMA Junkie's Youtube page.

Recently Masvidal has called out Michael Chandler, a fellow explosive fan friendly style fighter who is believed by the fans. He also stated his intentions to fight former welterweight champion Leon Edwards. Masvidal and Edwards got in infamous backstage brawl five years ago.
"As I am walking up to him, I have my hands behind my back to single, I am not coming here for problems, but he puts his hands up, and he walks towards me, well where I am from, if you are going to do that, you are going to punch me in the face, and that is not going to happen, so I gave him the three-piece with the soda," Masvidal stated in a viral interview with ESPN describing the incident with Edwards.

Whether it's Michael Chandler or Leon Edwards, the anticipation for Jorge Masvidal's return to the Octagon is palpable. As one of the biggest draws in UFC history, the original BMF, and one of MMA's most entertaining fighters, his return is eagerly awaited. The question on everyone's mind is, will we see Jorge Masvidal back in the UFC soon?
When asked about Masvidal's return to the UFC, UFC CEO Dana White told reporters. "That is interesting. We will see. I don't know."

Time will tell if Jorge Masvidal will fight with the UFC again, but the idea of it certainly piques the curiosity of UFC fans.
