Several UFC fighters have returned to the octagon after retirement, reigniting their passion for the fight game. From Henry Cejudo to others who couldn’t resist the call to compete again, it’s a familiar storyline in the MMA world. Now, Jorge Masvidal appears ready to join the list of comeback stories. Rumors are swirling about his return to action, though his opponent remains undecided. Interestingly, UFC veteran Chael Sonnen has suggested a potential matchup with rising 26-year-old talent Oban Elliott.
Sonnen fueled talk of Jorge Masvidal’s return by suggesting Oban Elliott as a potential opponent in Miami. Elliott confidently responded, saying there isn’t a long-haired man on the planet he needs to worry about and agreed to fight in Miami while tagging Masvidal. With Masvidal’s comeback creating buzz, a showdown between the UFC veteran and the rising 26-year-old star could deliver a thrilling matchup fans won’t want to miss.
In his words, “Two title fights at once I think it’s never happened before or hasn’t happened until now. What a night is waiting for me I hope I’ll survive.”
Additionally, Elliott added fuel to the fire with his comment about Masvidal as he said that when Masvidal walks into a room, it’s so quiet “you could hear a rat piss on cotton,” implying that Masvidal has a presence that commands attention. It was a bold jab, only adding more spice to the story as it will be a big matchup for him that will make his resume look good.
Chael Sonnen Also Suggested Jorge Masvidal vs. Leon Edwards
In his recent video, Sonnen talked about how he looked into the situation and saw that Jorge Masvidal was coming back. He suggested that if Leon Edwards is also returning without an opponent, and Masvidal is in the same position, it seems like a perfect match. According to Sonnen, the fight everyone’s eager to see is Masvidal vs. Edwards.
In his words, “I did look into this, it said that Jorge was in fact coming back. Of course my first thought is, if Leon is back, and without an opponent, and if Masvidal is back without an opponent, it would see as if we solved each other’s problems. There is only one fight that people want to see him have.”
