In a recent appearance, Masvidal had the following to say about the possibility of him getting back into the cage.

Masvidal opens up on potential UFC return

“We’re talking,” Masvidal confirmed to UFC on Paramount+. “We’re definitely talking. We’ve been talking for a minute, you know. We just haven’t landed on that thing. You guys know how the UFC is. I love them to death, but man, they make you work for every single thing, and it’s always like it’s not quite what you want it to be a lot of times, so we’re working. We’re going to get something done, though.”
