How a Street Fighter Living on the Edge Became "Gamebred" and Found Success

Featuring an introduction read by the author

In this inspiring rags-to-riches memoir, UFC star Jorge “Gamebred” Masvidal reveals how he went from a poor son of immigrants on the streets of Florida to one of the most successful athletes in the world, and how you can use the same principles to achieve success in your life.

When an older bully pushed the smaller Jorge Masvidal to the ground in second grade and tried to steal his bike, something snapped inside him. A “skinny kid with a big head,” Jorge grew up in a tough Miami neighborhood, raised by a single mom while his Cuban refugee father was in and out of jail. Jorge reacted in the only way he knew how: a flurry of punches and kicks fueled by red-hot rage that sent the bully to the ground.

Over the years, Jorge “Gamebred” Masvidal channeled rage into discipline and used his fists to go from feared street scrapper to one of the world’s greatest professional fighters. But his influence isn’t limited to the cage. Jorge channels his discipline and work ethic in every endeavor, getting involved in politics, social causes, and business. Now, in Born to Fight, Jorge brings his inspiring story to life and proves that every person has the capacity to reach their full potential and achieve the American Dream.

how relatable certain situations where as far as upbringing

loved how relatable it is, love that it's easy to follow if you followed his career.

#supernecessary

I loved how raw he was about his emotions and how he was always willing to stand up for himself. He's a fighter in every aspect of the word. One of the greatest role models of our time.

Dope

What a dope story. He overcame so much to become successful. He’s all heart I wish him the best

Pure Grit and Heart

Gut-Wrenching, Inspiring, and Dynamic. This guy’s origin story is marred with struggle and strife, but his belief and spirit pushed him to become a star in Combat Sports. You’ll finish this book feeling both respect and amazement at what this fighter achieved.

Jorge one of a kind

Great book. Honest and authentic. Bravo Gamebred, enjoyed this book a lot! The only thing that would have made it better would have been if Jorge read it himself.

Intense & Passionate

Jorge Masvidal is my favorite UFC fighter so I had to read this book. He had a rough life, but stayed focused and never stopped trying. Like him or not, he's passionate & achieves what he wants by earning it. If you like stories about fighting, UFC, MMA, boxing, inspiration, underdogs, etc. I recommend this book!

His story is great and inspirational. But..

By the time the book devolves into a political ad in a chapter hilariously titled “Fighting for Truth,” it’s already aged like milk—especially now that all the people who once thumped their chests about “truth” are shrugging like, “Wow, I guess the guy everyone said was lying turned out to be a liar.”

it is an ok title

The political chapter is borderline silly (saying from someone politically neutral such me).
Excluding that ridiculous the mentioned chapter, the performance is ok, the voice also.. the storyline is ok.
Didn't push me, didn't motivate me, didn't enrich me, didn't teach me anything honestly.. it did entertain me.
That's it.
I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a MMA superfan that looks for some entertainment.
