Chapter 1: Why do men feel under attack in 2024?
Like, if you're a man, they try to confuse you so much. If you're into this, if you're into that, if you're in the right body, if you're toxic because you fucking like sports and you like women and this and that. It's a crazy time nowadays to be a man. We've never been more attacked as men in the history of men. Just for being a man, you get fucking crucified and shit. It's crazy.
He got me, dog.
He got me. I had some good hands. The first one, I had a nice boat. I was doing good on my chips. I had threes with sevens, but he had eights with sevens, so he got me, man. There was a lot of stuff on the table. I thought I was good with my set that turned into a boat. I put them on the straight, so at first I was a little hesitant. I didn't want to bet too much or anything.
So then when I made the boat, I was like, I think I got him.
wrong you know boat over boat boat over boat you play a lot of poker um i used to play a ton of poker from like when i started at 14 then at 18 i was always in the casinos then i'm gonna say from like 24 23 years old to about like 31 played a lot yeah five hours a day a lot okay so you were nice yeah yeah so you were making a living off it or just on the side
When I was still fighting early on in my career, like I was still fighting for like Strikeforce and some other organizations. I was playing a lot and shit, I would make some ends meet numerous times, you know, get a little tournament, cash out in the tournament, go to a cash game, make some money, you know. So there was a time where it was putting some food on the table, you know.

Chapter 2: How did poker influence Jorge Masvidal's fighting mindset?
Do you think being good at poker helped you with the mindset with fighting too?
uh maybe just like the patience part and stuff you know but i i would think to anybody hearing all my athletes out there hearing probably stay away from poker hit the gym hard and that'll make you a better fighter absolutely but it's definitely fun it's one of my i love it because it just takes my mind off everything when i'm in the table i'm not thinking about anything yeah what i gotta do and what i'm gonna do i'm just having a blast i feel uh did you watch the paul uh tyson fight not really brother i had an event that day i had uh
I have a Bare Knuckle League, and we went live that day. We had 12 UFC veterans fighting, a total of 11 fights. We had a great fucking show, so I didn't get to watch the Tyson-Paul fight. I saw some highlights on social media and stuff, but I can't say I watched the whole thing. Yeah.
What do you think of the highlights, though?
Mm-hmm. You fought Jake Paul, so. No. Oh, you didn't? No, no, no. Oh, I thought you boxed him. I'd love to. No, I'd love to. I'd love to fight Jake Paul and break his face. Not in person. I'd just break his face. No, I didn't get to fight him, though. But I just, I don't know. I really, you know, for that type of money, man, you got to be violent. You know? You got to be fucking.
Putting people to sleep, man, getting all that type of money. It was just both sides was like a little lackluster, man. I'm not going to lie. But there was the Jon Jones fight on Saturday, which was amazing. That made up for it. Yeah, that made up for it. I mean, dude, that finish was one of the best I've ever seen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The whole fight itself was amazing.

Chapter 3: What are Jorge Masvidal's thoughts on the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight?
You got him as your GOAT, Jon Jones? He's definitely up there. There's not, I think, one guy over everybody in MMA, in my book, in my opinion, but he's definitely up there as one of the greatest of all time, undisputedly.
The longevity is insane, too.
The longevity is insane. The way he's finished some of these top guys on his way up was some of the most impressive stuff that I've seen. Shogun, Lyoto Machida, how he finished those guys. And those guys are amazing to me. Some of the very, very best. So Jones is a special guy, man.
Yeah. And you've had a long career too, man.
Not a lot of guys last that long. What do you attribute that to? Jesus, God Almighty.
I love that. Purpose, right? Yes, sir. Yeah, Jesus. Has that always played a big role for you?
Yeah, definitely. Religion's the number one motivator for me. Not religion. I would just say my relationship with God, you know.
Was that something your family kind of put you in growing up?

Chapter 4: How does religion influence Jorge Masvidal's life and career?
Nah, just something happened to me in my childhood when I was young, like around five years old, that changed my outlook on life and a lot of different things. So since that moment on. Nice.
Yeah, I think a lot of guys struggle with that purpose, right? Like an identity crisis almost.
Oh, yeah. Especially, I think, nowadays with... Like if you're a man, they try to confuse you so much. If you're into this, if you're into that, if you're in the right body, if you're toxic because you fucking like sports and you like women and this and that. So it's a crazy time nowadays to be a man. We've never been more attacked as men in the history of men.
Just for being a man, you get fucking crucified and shit. It's crazy. Right. A lot of shame and guilt, right?
A lot of shame and guilt, yeah. Was that a big reason you were a part of that Trump movement? Because you felt like that was under attack by the left?
I was part of the Trump movement because it's much bigger than even that, you know, besides gender ideology and identity stuff. I just feel that Trump overall, to sum it up kind of rather quick, I feel that he tackles the issue of communism and socialism like nobody does. And I believe in my heart the Democratic Party has been infiltrated by communists.
And there's only one guy that's fucking fighting him head on, and that's Donald J. Trump, you know? So that in short is like a lot of the good that I think that he does besides the economy, keeping the border safe and stuff. But I really like his stance against socialism and communism. And he understands it's right around the corner. It's not some far distant theory.
No, it's like right there, you know?
And I appreciate what you did because you were rocking with him for a while. Yeah. And back then. And back then you would get like a lot of sponsorship money would go away.

Chapter 5: Why is there corruption in the boxing industry?
They didn't want to come out and feel that drama, that heat. Me? I'm a thug. I don't give a fuck, man. You're not scared of the internet cancel culture? No, no, none of that, you know? You got some real life. Even if they take the money away, I don't give a fuck. Yeah? God's got my back. I'll figure it out later. Wow.
That's big, man. Could you beat Bradley Martin in a street fight?
Who the fuck is that? You don't know who that is? He must be like some Bruce Lee motherfucker. You asking me about him, this guy must be like Jon Jones or something, man. He's a big dude. Big dude? Yeah. I got to pull up a picture. He's got like a big... Yeah, he's 260. Oh, I know who you're talking about. Yeah, yeah. The dude that asks every fighter if you... Yeah, yeah.
I wish he'd ask me that question.
Logan Paul beat him. He pulled up to, or Logan Paul pulled up on him.
And that was like MMA or boxing?
I don't know what they did. They didn't film it, but you saw after how his head got.
I like Logan Paul and all, but if it's a fight, I'll put that guy in the hospital. Logan Paul? Yeah.
