  • UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal grew up in some of the roughest neighborhoods of Miami, which was even more difficult without the presence of his dad from a very young age. For Father's Day, Masvidal writes a letter to his dad, but has no idea the surprise that awaits him.

      Colby needs to drop the shtick and maybe people would like him more. Trash talk is lame. Respect is a true fighters currency. And masvidal is rolling in it after this video.

    This was heart touching. Wish I had this relationship with my father.

    Reminds of the movie blow..When the imprisoned son recorded a voice message for his dying dad. It was really sad. Good for Jorge that his story is better.
