Jorge Masvidal is taking his talents outside the cage – right outside of it actually.
Masvidal, the UFC’s “BMF” champion and top welterweight contender, will serve as a color commentator for Combate America’s first PPV event Saturday – “Combate Americas: Tito vs. Alberto.” The news was announced by ESPN’s Ariel Helwani and later by the promotion.
Masvidal (35-13 MMA, 12-6 UFC) joins fellow UFC fighter Julianna Peña and play-by-play commentator Max Bretos as the cageside broadcast team.
