Jorge Masvidal was doing very well as a lightweight, cruising to three wins in a row before he met Al Iaquinta at UFC Fight Night 63. In his mind -- and in the mind of plenty of others -- he won that fight, too. Yet two of the three judges gave the decision to Iaquinta, which prompted Masvidal to contemplate life as a fighter.
Namely, life at 155 pounds, which he swore off of that day in April after the scorecards were read.
During an appearance on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour, the 30-year old Masvidal said his decision to move to welterweight had long been floating around in his head.
