Masvidal is set to commentate the fight alongside play-by-play commentator Max Bretos and UFC women&#8217;s bantamweight contender Julianna Pena. The event takes place this Saturday night at Payne Arena in Hidalgo, Texas. It&#8217;s by far the biggest event in the history of Combate Americas and airs live on pay-per-view.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN&#8217;s Ariel Helwani confirmed that Masvidal is set to make his MMA commentary debut this weekend on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B5ptSOhhJOb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">his Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B5ptSOhhJOb\/<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Jorge Masvidal will be the &#8216;third man in the booth&#8217; for Combate Americas&#8217; first pay-per-view on Saturday, working alongside Max Bretos and Julianna Pe\u00f1a. This is the show headlined by Tito Ortiz vs. Alberto El Patron. The year of Gamebred continues. GDP.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The opportunity to provide commentary for such a big event in Latin American MMA is huge for Masvidal and continues what has been an absolutely incredible 2019 for him.<\/p>\n<p>Masvidal kicked off the year with an upset knockout win over Darren Till at UFC London. He then knocked out Ben Askren in five seconds with a flying knee at UFC 239 this summer, setting the UFC record for fastest KO ever and also becoming a superstar in the process. He then won the BMF belt with a TKO win over Nate Diaz in the main event of UFC 244.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, the man who Masvidal beat to become a superstar in <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/ben-askren-wants-to-give-television-commentary-a-try\/\">Askren is also considering giving MMA commentary a try<\/a>. It&#8217;s great to see fighters get these opportunities to make money outside of fighting inside the cage. If Masvidal has a successful debut, this could very well lead to bigger and better things for him in the world of MMA commentary, both now and down the road.<\/p>\n<p>Are you excited to hear Jorge Masvidal do commentary for Combate Hidalgo?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 12\/4\/2019.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC welterweight superstar Jorge Masvidal will make his mixed martial arts commentary debut this Saturday at Combate: Hidalgo.
