Jorge Masvidal takes ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto back to the Miami apartment complex he grew up in with his mother. “Gamebred” tells stories about (1:45) having his bike stolen and getting into the fights. He also discusses (6:01) getting a knife pulled on him, (10:45) living in his car, being the “dine and dash king of Miami”, (15:17) trying to hide a bad report card from his mom, (19:41) how he got connected with Dan Lambert at American Top Team and (21:06) fighting in a backyard vs. Kimbo Slice’s protégé Ray. (23:01) Masvidal describes how he can sense danger and how it led to the “3 piece and the soda.” Order UFC 251 on ESPN+ https://plus.espn.com/ufc/ppv #UFC251 #ESPNMMA ✔ For more UFC, sign up for ESPN+ https://plus.espn.com/ufc ✔ Get the ESPN App: http://www.espn.com/espn/apps/espn ✔ Subscribe to ESPN on YouTube: http://es.pn/SUBSCRIBEtoYOUTUBE ✔ Subscribe to ESPN FC on YouTube: http://bit.ly/SUBSCRIBEtoESPNFC ✔ Subscribe to NBA on ESPN on YouTube: http://bit.ly/SUBSCRIBEtoNBAonESPN ✔ Watch ESPN on YouTube TV: http://es.pn/YouTubeTV ESPN on Social Media: ► Follow on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/espn ► Like on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/espn ► Follow on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/espn Visit ESPN on YouTube to get up-to-the-minute sports news coverage, scores, highlights and commentary for NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, College Football, NCAA Basketball, soccer and more.
