Jorge Masvidal is officially returning to competition to take on Shara Magomedov in Hype FC.
Masvidal recently said Nate Diaz shouldn’t be his opponent but he’s still ready to drop whatever he’s doing to make a UFC comeback at the White House.
It has been nearly three years since we last saw ‘Gamebred’ compete in MMA, though he has had a boxing match against Diaz since then.
Following Masvidal’s announcement of his next bare-knuckle event, there has been confirmation of his return, and it’ll see him compete in a new ruleset.

Jorge Masvidal set to compete against Shara Magomedov in Hype FC grappling match
Hype FC announced today that Jorge Masvidal will be making his return to competition to face Shara Magomedov in a submission only grappling match.
The contest will take place at the Farmasi Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on March 11.
Magomedov has recently been talking about facing Alex Pereira in a match following his debut in Hype FC, where he went to a draw with Arman Tsarukyan.
The promotion’s previous attempt to pit Tsarukyan against Tom Hardy shows that they’re ambitious about the names that they can bring in.
Hosting Masvidal’s first competitive outing since his boxing loss to Nate Diaz in July, 2024 is just another example of that.
