Tue Sep 10 17:08:55 UTC 2024: ## Masvidal’s UFC Return Sparks Questions and Skepticism

Former UFC star Jorge Masvidal has announced a comeback to the Octagon, targeting a return in late 2024 or early 2025. The announcement has surprised many fans and analysts, considering Masvidal’s recent struggles and his own admission of being too old and worn down for the sport.

While Masvidal’s motivations for this return remain unclear, former UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier has suggested that the 39-year-old fighter is banking on the popularity he garnered during his peak years.

“He has that great year where he beats Darren Till, then he beats Ben Askren, then he beats Nate Diaz to become the BMF champion in 2019,” Cormier stated. “His star never shines so bright.”

Cormier questioned if fans still hold the same level of enthusiasm for Masvidal, who has lost his last four MMA fights and a boxing match. “Do you care now? Do you care like you did in 2019?” he asked.

Masvidal’s return will be a test of his abilities and the fans’ interest. The UFC is expected to announce his next opponent in the coming weeks.
