Masvidal’s Instagram post read, “We have decided to postpone the GFC2 event. If we keep the show on 9/11 we will be taking a lot of hotel rooms that can be used for the people of Mississippi and Louisiana who have been affected by the hurricane. I, in good conscience, have decided to not take resources from the people that need it the most during this time. All the fighters on the card will be moved to our Oct. 1 card in Biloxi.
