Sidelined from the Octagon for over a year and a half, former multiple-time welterweight title challenger, Jorge Masvidal has confirmed talks are in place with the UFC to make a return to the promotion — and he wants to face Michael Chandler in a year-end clash.
Masvidal, the inaugural symbolic BMF champion in the organization, departed the organization in April of last year, succumbing to a fourth consecutive loss in the form of a one-sided unanimous decision loss to Gilbert Burns in his native Miami.
And heading up Gamebred Fighting Championships in the time since, Floridian veteran, Masvidal also featured in his sophomore outing in the squared circle earlier this annum, dropping a close split decision loss to fellow Octagon alum, Nate Diaz.
