Jorge Masdival and Nate Diaz during UFC 244 weighing at Madsion Square Garden (Imago)
Jorge Masvidal is a huge fan of McDonald’s and he shared his cheat meal before UFC 261
Jorge Masvidal is on a quest to win the UFC Welterweight title as he gets a rematch against Kamaru Usman.
Gamebred, as Masvidal is called, took up the UFC 251 fight against Usman on short-notice. However, he had to go through a crazy weight-cut and spoke with ESPN about the same.
Masvidal highlighted he needed to lose around 20 pounds in a day. While he achieved the weight-cut goal, his performance in the fight wasn’t the best.
Usman dominated him throughout the clash and Masvidal had been calling out for a rematch with a proper fight camp.
Gamebred has his wish now and promised to destroy the Nigerian Nightmare. The weight problems also seem to be a thing of the past as Masvidal has been binging on McDonald’s recently too.
He was speaking to ESPN ahead of UFC 261 and was asked about his meals at McDonald’s:
“Everybody gets to like cheat meal, you know, it is easy to see that I love it. One, it pisses off people, I love it.
“Two, my weight’s been phenomenal since the fight’s been announced so my coach will see that I am underweight and say, ‘You can have a cheat meal today and that was the cheat meal of my liking.’”
Masvidal was also asked what he likes to eat and Gamebred didn’t want to share the secret sauce. However, the cheat meal of the UFC star was a crazy one and the reporter joked that this was a “cheat weak”:
“I shouldn’t be giving out the secret sauce but, you know.
“I get the double-quarter pounder with the extra Big Mac sauce. About two orders of French fries, a sundae, caramel on top, fudge on the bottom, so when I get to it, it’s nice and cold, maybe a double cheeseburger to roll with that, I am good, that’s my meal.”
Masvidal added that he burns off calories quite quickly and that’s why his meals are so large. It is incredible to see Masvidal load up on so many burgers but MMA training is hard.
Further, many stars have cheat meals right after their fights and it will be interesting to see how UFC 261 goes.
Should Masvidal finally win the Welterweight title, there could be a huge party at McDonald’s with a ton of burgers and fries being downed.
