On the cusp of getting his first UFC title shot at welterweight, Jorge Masvidal has not entirely ruled out a return to 155 pounds. Former Strikeforce lightweight title challenger Masvidal (35-13 MMA, 11-4 UFC), entered the UFC as a lightweight, winning five of his first six fights. He picked up wins over the likes of Michael Chiesa and James Krause, but eventually, Masvidal decided to move up to welterweight, a move that proved to pay dividends for his career. While the cut down to 155 pounds was never easy for Masvidal, he admits that he has unfinished business at lightweight, never getting the opportunities he thinks he deserved. But he’d only consider dropping back down under one condition.
