- Jorge Masvidal was filmed dropping a fan with a brutal leg kick
- He’s not the only MMA star to leave a fan in agony in recent weeks
- Masvidal is considering a switch to boxing after retiring from MMA last year
Footage has emerged of former UFC star Jorge Masvidal dropping a fan with a brutal leg kick.
In the clip, Masvidal faces a male fan, preparing for a leg kick that the man appears eager to take.
But he soon regrets that decision, as Masvidal lands a kick just above his left knee, immediately sending him to the ground.
He clutches the back of his leg, tries to smile and gives his middle finger to the camera, but is clearly in pain after taking the blow without protecting himself.
As the man writes in pain, Masvidal seems very happy with the kick, before turning to the camera and jokingly asking, “Who did that?”

He then pretended to flee the scene, while the fantastic was still on the ground, unable to get up.
Masvidal isn’t the first MMA fighter to use his skills on a fan in recent weeks.
Controversial former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland left influencer Sneako with a bloody nose after a sparring session last month.
Despite hiring a rookie, Strickland refused to take it easy with Sneako, and was subsequently called out by Jake Paul, with the YouTuber turned boxer offering him a seven-figure payday.
Sneako also received a painful lesson from bantamweight contender Merab Dvalishvili, who forced him to tap out after taking him to the mat with ease.
Now Masvidal has hurt a fan with a leg kick at a time when his future in combat sports is currently unclear.
The 39-year-old retired from MMA last year after losing on points to Gilbert Burns at UFC 287.
