Have you ever been curious about what the Jorge Masvidal nickname “Gamebred” means for Masvidal? Well, it’s actually a representation of his strong character and toughness. He’s called “Gamebred” because it showcases his resilience and determination, especially in the welterweight division.
According to Jorge Masvidal, his brother was the one who came up with Jorge Masvidal’s nickname ‘Gamebred’. He explained that “Game” represents the ability to persevere through physical and mental exhaustion, regardless of one’s skill level or championship status. Meanwhile, “Bred” is a reference to the breeding process of pit bulls, where two strong pit bulls are bred together to produce even stronger offspring. Masvidal’s nickname reflects his own resilience and determination, just like a well-bred pit bull.
“Game means the ability to fight through pain and fatigue. It’s not about how high your skill levels are, or if you’re good, bad, or world champion. It’s just your ability to fight through pain and fatigue. Bred is just, you have a pit bull and another pit bull – you bred a pit bull, you know?”
Jorge Masvidal lived up to his nickname’s meaning when he accepted a fight against one of the most dominant UFC Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman in history on only six days’ notice. Masvidal’s willingness to face any opponent at short notice is what defines his own “gamebred” spirit.

Jorge Masvidal had a frightening encounter when a kid pulled a knife on him and his friend near their elementary school. They were just riding around and saying hello to people when the kid suddenly pulled out a knife and threatened them. Masvidal managed to push the kid away and ran for safety. A year later, Masvidal encountered the same kid again, but this time, the kid got into a fight with one of Masvidal’s friends.
When Masvidal tried to intervene, the kid recognized him and slapped him in the face. Masvidal immediately recognized the kid who had pulled a knife on him earlier. And then he reacted with rage, fighting the kid until the teachers arrived to break it up. Masvidal’s experience shows how past traumas can resurface and how violence can have lasting effects on people.
