Watch: UFC Legend Starts ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Chant During Trump Rally in Florida
Retired MMA Legend Jorge Masvidal Leads ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Chant at Trump Rally in Florida
Retired mixed martial arts legend Jorge Masvidal has never been afraid to throw punches or mince his words. There’s a reason the man won the inaugural “BMF” (“baddest motherf***er”) championship in the UFC back in 2019 — he doesn’t just walk the walk, but he makes sure to talk the talk while doing it.
And it’s that gift for gab that has kept Masvidal in the spotlight despite his abrupt retirement from the fight game in April of this year.
But just because one’s retired doesn’t mean they’re dead, and Masvidal has remained active in a different sort of arena than an octagon now that he’s hung up his MMA gloves: the political arena.

“We need the rest of the f***ing country to wake up because everybody can have this freedom,” Masvidal said at the Trump rally.
The legendary fighter continued: “Everybody in the country should have these laws and policies. I love all of you. Just going to ask for one favor before I leave …”
That favor? “If we could just get a ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ chant. Let’s go.”
The crowd happily obliged in chanting the phrase that many consider to be a dig at President Joe Biden.
Naturally, this is hardly the first time that Masvidal has set foot in the political arena. The 38-year-old retired fighter has never been one to mince words when it comes to the current state of American politics.
In fact, political arena and the octagon collided for Masvidal when he publicly called out Biden — while praising the former president and GOP presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis — immediately following his retirement.
As for the latest Trump rally, it kept in tone with the effective victory lap that Trump is taking due to his commanding lead over this GOP primary rivals.

“I’m standing in front of tens of thousands of people right now, and it’s on television. That’s a lot harder to do than a debate,” Trump bragged at the rally, per the Associated Press.
According to Real Clear Politics, the former president holds a commanding 44 point lead over his DeSantis, his closest rival, in national polling data.

How has Masvidal’s involvement in the political arena affected his reputation and ability to connect with people in both the MMA world and the political world
Mediately after his fight at UFC 261. Masvidal used his post-fight interview to express his support for Trump and DeSantis, and to criticize Biden and his administration.
Masvidal’s involvement in politics is not surprising, considering his outspoken nature and his passion for defending personal freedoms. In a previous interview with The Western Journal, Masvidal dismantled the left’s narrative of defunding the police and passionately defended the right to conceal carry firearms.
During Wednesday’s Trump rally, Masvidal took the stage and addressed the crowd, urging them to wake up and fight for their freedom. He emphasized that every American should have the same laws and policies and expressed his love for the audience.
But it was his request for a “Let’s Go Brandon” chant that garnered the most attention. The phrase has gained popularity among conservatives as a way to express dissatisfaction with the current administration. Masvidal asked the crowd to join him in the chant, and they happily obliged.
This is not the first time Masvidal has ventured into the political arena. He has been vocal about his opinions on American politics and has not hesitated to call out Biden and express his support for Trump and DeSantis. Masvidal’s ability to captivate both the MMA world and the political world is a testament to his charisma and ability to connect with people.
It is clear that Masvidal has not let retirement slow him down. While he may have hung up his MMA gloves, he has embraced a new arena – the political arena. His passion for defending personal freedoms and his willingness to speak his mind make him a formidable force in both worlds.
As for what the future holds for Masvidal, only time will tell. But one thing is certain – he will continue to make his voice heard and fight for what he believes in. Whether it’s inside the octagon or on the political stage, Masvidal will never shy away from throwing punches or mincing his words.
