Jorge Masvidal: Fight Recovery Routine, Sleep Hack and Nate Diaz Fight Prep Tips | TUH #065
About this video
Fighter Jorge Masvidal tells Brecka his sleep had been broken since his teens, averaging only a few fragmented hours, and recounts visiting Brecka’s home lab, trying red light, hydrogen and oxygen-based modalities, and then recording, on his wearable, the best sleep he says he had in years. They discuss his fight career, his bare-knuckle and boxing promotions under Gamebred, an upcoming Nate Diaz fight, and his view that his abilities come from God. Brecka presents the visit as evidence recovery work can change an athlete’s trajectory.
Key takeaways
- Masvidal describes chronic fragmented sleep since age 17 as his biggest recovery problem
- Masvidal claims one session of Brecka’s modalities was followed by his best tracked sleep in two years
- He discusses building fight promotions as his post-career platform
- Masvidal attributes his speed, power and reflexes ultimately to God
