You can see in his dad eyes he's so much proud of his son.
Tushar Gosain must be nice... 😝
Tushar Gosain الله اكبر yes all father in the 🌎 same
الحياة حلوه Unfortunately not 😕
@T Uu Not really, from his perspective he sees it like that b/c in the middle east Islamic culture, Father's stick with their kids thru everything and play a vital part and hence they respect their father a lot like Khabib, that's their culture.
Being a black dude in the States, I can attest to the fact that it ain't the same for us where dudes abandon their kids left & right
Quit projecting
Classic old school cuban, ask him a question. He’ll pause , stare at you for a couple sec...then slowly answer your question 😂😂😂
Se llama analiza antes de hablar. Analyze before you speak.

PLEASE go on Joey Diaz’s podcast together
Oh my God yes PLEASE.
AND YOEL ROMERO
Jorge was already on that but not Whit his dad
Drobovik trump would definitely stop that from happening 🤣🤣
Yooo that wld be epic!, never forget when Jorge went on a year ago or so and uncle Joey and Lee were fucking BOMBED stoned😭😭 niggas were like vegetables tryna converse w Jorge😭🤣
Oh, you have a dad now? ~ Nate Diaz
😂
Hold up
i was rolling bro
dulez ninjaman LOL idk why i assume Nates dad was not in the picture.... Maybe cuz he's from the ghetto
@@lastofthebrohicans4998 lol how tf should i know I haven't studied Nates life before the UFC he just sounds like hes from the hood
Dad sacrificed his life on that raft from Cuba . . His son has made it . . The American dream . . . For dad it was all worth it . . . Priceless .
That part
❤❤❤
Legendary 🙏❤️
He just sacrificed his freedom trying to be a gangster
@@whatshisface1390 and now he’s gonna rot in prison, what a bozo
His dad risked his life coming to america with nothing as a teenager, then did hard time for pushin heavy weight and didnt snitch. Id say he is a bmf
FACTS
Amen
Yep..
Just ask the dude he killed
100%
The UFC/ESPN partnership was the best thing to EVER happen to 90% of these fighters as far as career advancement.
Cameron J your right
Jorge would have alot more cash rn if he still had his sponsors
@@kushsmoker4206 I think that goes for EVERY fighter on the roster. I'm talking more in terms of promotion & elevating fighters so they can be seen by a much bigger audience. I've seen more/better promotion in the last 6 months from ESPN than I have in 5 years from the UFC alone, especially for the "not quite Superstar" type guys.
@@retiredtidepodeater3339 I totally agree as far as ESPN and booking nobody's who end up either dead or actually getting noticed🤣
Cameron J
Absolutely
They’re finally being humanized and promoted better.

I miss my dad so much listening to this. I would give anything to have him back.
that’s sweet his dad does his laundry 🧺 that’s love

Jorge dad reminds me some much of my dad. Rip dad I love and miss you my best friend!!
My condolences

Head up brother stay strong.

Father son relationship goals
Jorge's dad had a tough life it's great to see the son including his father in all his day to day activities!! GOOD BOY
Gina
This was actually really wholesome
On god bro. It’s satisfying watching good, hard working people prosper. Love it
@@michaelj.f.4602 Yeah for sure bro
SkoniK i agree, great story telling. You don’t get the uncut versions most time...
Jorge Sr is Scarface, the end of the movie was dramatized, he just went back to jail, got close with his son, and came home to his son fighting Yves Edwards.
This is pure gold if you have to do cardio. Watching this along with the other clip will make 60 mins pass by like a fookin breeze on the elliptical.
Stfu you short snowflake
Bollocks to ur elliptical ..... Bell end
@Tamagotchi it's not that deep
I must follow your advice thanks
@@nerdbashedat8622 ur not that deep
"you could smoke crack" -Jorge Masvidal Sr.
But ur bottom teeth will fall out
Lol
😂😂😂😂
@@elliottjames671 Hahahhahahaha
That’s a good way to parent in my opinion instead of them wondering the consequence they’ll know. Learn from others mistakes you know.
I could watch the Masvidals tell stories for days
This is fantastic. It's great that Jorge was able to do this for his father. Respect.
When are we gonna get a movie about Masvidals life!?!?!
Hmmm. Nah. A) It is UFC B) Not even Class A C) Not sure if he is even a champ D) No one cares
I suggest Ghengis Khan's video series on him.
Iamloki Ocho your a Virgin it’s super necessary for Jorge to get that movie check
hopefully never -
@@kvitop Nothing wrong with virgins.
Wow we don't know how good we have it here.....That's insane
I can't say enough about his down to earth attitude when his father is around him, and his father has that same down to earth demeanor. Tons of respect to the Masvidals. When Jorge wins the BMF belt, I would have liked to see his father wrap the BMF belt around his waste. The Rock needs to step aside for sure.
For sho

You make me really miss my dad, being together with son and father is the best moment in life. Good luck with your next fight Jorge
I love getting to know these fighters and me personally especially fighters I can relate to on certain levels. Super proud of Jorge for getting to this point 👌🏼
Likewise bro. Keep your head up the world is yours
Angel Rivera
Angel, como estas? Love you

Now it all makes even more since why Jorge always talks about his fight with Yves Edwards...very touching.
Even though Jorge is a very bad man to mess with, my favorite thing is that he gives GOD the praise for his life and abilities. 🙏👍
This makes me remember of my old man !!!! Cherish every moment my boi
🙏🏽🙏🏽

No one:
Jorge's father: "And he still my boy"
Lol
Awww he is proud
Gamebread loves to eat in front of a camera crew
@Daniel Mejia Aha. Such a useful info from u :) thx
Tom F lolol
He just loves to eat. He lets the cameras come around him and usually he’s eating
He has alot of social anxiety about speaking in English interviews. He could not speak english until he was 12, he mentioned this in the UFC Spanish documentary on him. He likely just prefers to have something to occupy silent moments. I dont know why this would be funny.
@@tldogmeat
He was born in the u.s., he grew up speaking English. He's from Miami, he's not fresh off the boat
The lead up to this fight has been great, no trash talk needed
MAGA
This aged well...
Jorge is such an inspiration, he's one of the few fighters that I actually want to have the belt for all the work they put in for that familia
Masvidal is a great last name. Awesome interview !
Actually SALVATIERRA is a better last name similar yet different both have meanings mines means savior of the earth u white ppl crack me up 😆
I see “Mas Vida”
Sergio Salvatierra Nah that sounds like some nine year old found a key board and mashed the keys up, now that's your name.
I'm so glad Jorge is getting more money, and attention now. he and his dad are real af.
Much love & respect to Jorge & his Papa, very hard times, so happy they are together again
The Cuban people are represented so well here with this Father and Son interview.. Im so happy that Jorges hardwork has paid off for him and his Father is just old school and amazing. what a biography!! Jorge is a real man working it out anyway like his father did.
i like the length of these new promos. i hate the short 10 minute videos. keep it long! great job!
I love masvidal he’s a good man and he takes care of his family and his dad Real champion
Jorge fighting in the daycare 😂
The fact him and his dad are always together that is AWESOME makes sense look how far he has gotten with a great dad in his corner !!!
Im really glad brett Interviewed his father bc there’s a lot to relate to jorge 👏 amazing stories
8:20 “...because he was so hungry”
Jorge proceeds to eat his food
Masvidal's B-day comin up too November 12th. It's scorpio season lets get it!, you got this win homie.
Beautiful unique emotional story GOD BLESS THEM 🙏🏼🙏🏼this is why he is thriving he is a strong soul I love this !!!!!!
BIG respect to Jorge Masvidal and his profound admiration for his father. Definitely a Top-Tier athlete, but an even greater human being!💯👏🏾🔥
Bet he beat his son a lot, typical poor Macho stuff
I like this. Nice job ESPN.
Good to see the personal and
life of the fighters.
espn ruins everything
This is great man,wish my dad was still around
Take care of your father champ,because when they go away from this world,they never return,i lost my father and miss him very much.
Beautiful relationship between Jorge and his dad 🙌❤️
Love the relationship they have
This is deep! Thanks for sharing!
Powerful interview. Really shows the layers of Masvidal outside of the octagon. Dude has had an amazing journey.
Jorge " they threw in the straw" masvidal Jr.
Jorge "he some kinda fuckin general" Masvidal Sr.
Love this dude!
This dude is a real latino!
the real crime is putting someone in prison for 18 years for drugs.
Didn't he kill someone?
@@juntjoonunya9216 He killed Ben Askren.
God bless his father, has such a sweet voice, like a song i could listen to all day
much respect to both Jorge's..thank you for the video buddy🤙🤙
Great story, great video.
Yooo, Cuban refugee stories are real. So many stories. Along with other refugees in general. But ya. Very Miami.
Who’s here after he got arrested?
I wish my father loved me like Masvidal Sr loves his son 💔
Man, that was heart felt for real. Nothing but love.
2:48 Wow! What an amazing testimony! God bless him and his family! 🌺
Im half Mexican from the west coast but I like masvidal more. I speak Spanish too. I just identify with him more.

The best UFC interview I have ever seen!
Jorge, Dios te bendiga. Soy cubano, estoy muy alegre por tus triunfos, continua luchando, darle gracias a Dios por todo y siente mi apoyo en oración y fisicamente, desde Angola te escribo. FUERZA
Him and his dad are close, wow how unique.
Jorge Masvidal Sr and Jr. and Bret... thanks for the interview!!! much love to all!!! God bless
Thank you🙏🏽. Awesome interview.
I eat alot of ice cream, and that calm me down 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was a way better interview than the same old questions about lames he's already buried dope interview
Amazing story. Thank you for this!
Jorge putting out some raw interviews this was great
Masvidal is a Dawg
Both him and diaz are. This fight gonna be epic!!!!
yep he is but nate is going to win. Nate has equal striking and is a killer on the ground. He's got a big reach advantage too. anything can happen though, of course.
Nate is a lion then
@@pb12661 masvidals boxing is much cleaner, he hits a lot harder & the reach difference is only about 5cm
@@FloRidaVEVO98 And the fight vs Till is the perfect example of how that can be dealt with.
So your a passenger now ?
- Masvidals dad to seagull
these interviews are so important. its so nice to see the tender side of elite athletes...especially ones who are in physical combat. thanks for this video, it has been great!
good interview.Thanks Sr. and Jr. Masvidal
I sincerely hope Jorge buys his dad some bottle row dental implants...it's crazy how much better someone feels about themselves after great dental work. Let's go Jorge!
MMA RiffRaff ...I agree with your sentiment, however I tend to think a dude like him doesn’t really care what other people might think of him, in that sense
@@Day-ZDuke you'd be surprised man. everyone's got some kind of insecurity...I work in the dental industry and I've seen a lot of tears come streaming down when an ex-crack addict, etc looks in the mirror after getting proper dental work done...not to mention it makes eating and talking much easier too..
MMA RiffRaff ...good points, and you’re right , it would probably make him feel better, even though he doesn’t feel it matters/that he needs it
@@Day-ZDuke You got it...gonna be an exciting card...have a good day dawg...
MMA RiffRaff ...can’t wait man, & thanks U too bro
Jorges father and Yoel Romero sound the same lol
El Cucuy Cuz they’re both born and raised in Cuba 🇨🇺
see you soon boy!
Image that. 2 ppl from the same island sound the same.
You sai that to me?
El Cucuy Jorge's dad speaks much better english than Yoel
Love seeing the bond between them..Me and my pops are like that..Much respect.
Love your dad story I came in a raft too in 1995 , I'm a big fan and really proud of you Jorge keep make us proud.
That plate looks Fire 🔥💪

So powerful telling his son the consequences of doing something rather than your typical parent saying don’t do this, don’t do that, with no explanation ! V refreshing. Shows respect to his son
His dad must be so proud of Gorge, coming from his background, life his what you make it.
fighting in the daycare:) 8:31
I did that stretch when I was 16 and it's no joke, the sharks would scratch the bottom of the raft at night. I remember only sleeping 30 minutes one night out of the 5 days it took from Havana to key West, in 1993. Great interview. . Adelante Jorge!!!!!!
Yeah right
Pa’lante
I see where his passion is from now! Great story!
I could watch more of this. Wish it was at least an hr.
Once again, ESPN did it right...
I'm a huge masvidal fan
Donald Trump could never survive this kind of Lifestyle
The Love of a Father and Son should always be like this.
Awesome interview; insightful.
that's it, Jorge "turbulence" masvidal 19:39
It's so apparent in these interviews with Brett where they talk about rough upbringings and childhoods.
That Brett hasn't experienced any of it, by the questions he's asking, and reacting.
Appreciate it anyways, but wish there was a more real OG mma journalist out there for these kind of pieces.
You dont have to have gone through the same trials and tribulations as your interviewee in order to be a good interviewer.
@@Smorgasvord It's easier to relate to answers and think of fitting questions
Do you want to ride Brett?
This is a perfect time for subtitles....
“In Cuba yeah I was fighting a little bit” 🤣🤣
