With that, he has only lost to two of the top three fighters at welterweight which is why Bisping is surprised people are giving up on Masvidal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2019 run of Jorge Masvidal was incredible,\u201d Bisping said on his\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gCWqz_9Up-s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube channel<\/a> (via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2022\/11\/ufc-opinion-analysis-michael-bisping-says-mma-fans-are-fickle-writing-off-jorge-masvidal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAJunkie<\/a>). \u201cHe knocked out Darren Till. He knocked out Ben Askren and scored the quickest knockout ever in UFC history, and then beat down Nate Diaz (and) became the BMF. But then he lost three in a row. (He lost) two to Kamaru Usman, one to Colby Covington, and for some reason, MMA fans \u2013 they are so quick to write people off. They are so fickle. Granted, we are only as good as our last fight inside the octagon, but come on. He only lost to Kamaru and Colby, the two best fighters on the planet in welterweight until Leon Edwards came along.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jorge Masvidal does not have his next fight booked <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/jorge-masvidal\/gilbert-burns-blasts-jorge-masvidal-claims-he-turned-him-down-three-times-i-guess-the-b-from-his-bmf-belt-doesnt-stand-for-bad\/\">but was linked to a potential bout against Gilbert Burns<\/a>. Although the Brazilian accused Masvidal of ducking him, Michael Bisping doesn&#8217;t think that is true.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, Bisping says Masvidal is a true game fighter.

He tried fighting me. He\u2019s a natural fighter and he\u2019s one of those guys that\u2019s cut from that old-school mentality. He\u2019s not an athlete, he\u2019s not one of the best wrestlers, he\u2019s not one of the best kickboxers. But, he\u2019s one of the best fighters.
