BMF champ Jorge Masvidal answered questions from members of the UFC 287 Weigh In Show squad ahead of his co-main event …
I flip on SportsCenter I see you riding around in your convertible I mean this is this is all about you the one of the main reasons that we are here in Miami is because of Jorge Hospital how has this week been for you oh this week’s been amazing I’ve said on every interview I gotten a chance I’ve been preparing for this one fight this one event for 20 years now that’s when the UFC first came here and I told myself I’ll bring the event one day here took 20 years but here we are and um I’m pumped I’m ready to go I’m excited brother what type of win do you have to have this weekend to get you the title shot right away I got a murder I gotta dump the whole clip in his chest I got to leave him without life for like five minutes in the stretch of there the crowd going crazy um that’s it the deeper I bury him under the ground the more likely I’m gonna get that title shot you know a decision or that you know squeezing somebody until the referee breaks us up and then squeeze in him again as hard as I can until the referee breaks it up those victories never get you but when you take somebody’s soul in there that gets a crowd going that gets the promoters going they get some matchmakers going how has it been being able to sleep in your own bed every single night this week is it something that you want to get used to doing or or it feels weird going through a fight week like this uh both it’s a little bipolar you know the road’s always been my home I’ve always gotten an airplane to a hotel and then gotten in a fight so this is surreal but at the same time it’s it’s my bed my home my AC at the temperature I always like it at you know when I wake up there’s certain things I like to do and I’m getting to do it so it feels almost like I’m cheating in a sense as well Jorge you’ve done a million interviews coming into this fight I’ve watched all of them so I don’t want to ask you a question that you have been asked a million times already so I’m going to ask you how long did it take to braid your hair because those braids are tight they are immaculate these are like four days old already um took like an hour and change it how she is insane so good I got the best hands in Miami in the UFC she’s got the best hands for breeding in Dade County so shout out hey Jorge we’ll let you go I know it’s been a long week for you all setting up for the co-main event tomorrow night best of luck to you yes sir God bless everybody take care brother
