Speaking on episode #137, the No.11-ranked welterweight stated:

"He's a b**ch bro and he showed his true colors for the money, for the pay-per-view. He talked about my kids, my family, to maybe sell extra pay-per-views. [We were] not friends, I was f**king his everything - his mentor. I was already in Strikeforce. I had competed against Gilbert Melendez. I was an established pro when he came over to American Top Team."

Jorge Masvidal continued:

"I was living up at American Top Team. I had an apartment over there for about a year and change. He broke his hand. His girlfriend had f**king kicked him out of the place because he had given her f**king herpes and s**t so he had like nowhere to f**king live so he asked if he could crash on my couch. I was like yeah f**k it bro we're both on this journey together."
