UFC star Jorge Masvidal’s next match-up has been confirmed – a showdown with American Cornhole League champion Cody Henderson.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Masvidal is always ready for action whenever he’s called upon, as he was able to prove when he flew to Abu Dhabi in order to take on Kamaru Usman on incredibly short notice last month. While he may not have won the Welterweight Championship, somehow, his stock managed to go up even higher in defeat – especially when the pay-per-view buys were first reported.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Now, though, as reported by ESPN’s Ariel Helwani, Masvidal has a very different challenge on his hands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\r\nJorge Masvidal\u2019s next match is set.
He will compete against American Cornhole League champ Cody Henderson on Wednesday on ESPN2, per the league and his manager Abraham Kawa. Below is the poster and the rules for this mammoth clash of titans. pic.twitter.com\/2EsAmRPR76<\/a><\/p>\r\n\u2014 Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) August 2, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u201cThat day to compete again is Wednesday, August 5th, at 8:00pm EST on ESPN2 as a special event within the Pit Boss Man and Woman of the Year Shootouts. This 5 Round Grudge Match will begin with Masvidal being spotted 15 points and if a player reaches 21 points by the end of the 5th Round, that will be considered a knockout. If no player achieves a KO by the end of 5th Runs we will go to the scoreboard to determine the winner by decision. Jorge Masvidal says, \u201cI have the fastest KO in MMA fighting history and now I am going for the fastest KO in Cornhole history. Cody will regret spotting me 15 points.\u201d <\/p>\r\n
Cody Henderson states, \u201cI respect Jorge\u2019s skills in the Octagon and no doubt he would win every battle there. However, he is entering my arena, I plan to knock him out within the 5 rounds.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Masvidal also made some headlines recently when he spoke about why he has previously voiced his support for president Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
