Jorge Masvidal was one of the celebrities who made an appearance at UFC 264. Another celebrity who appeared at UFC 264 was former President Of The United States, Donald Trump. It seems he quite likes Jorge Masvidal.
Colby Covington is a huge fan of Conor McGregor and does not like Dustin Poirier, as many fans are well aware of the fact. Colby Covington was also spotted with Donald Trump’s wife earlier this year.
Colby Covington has a longstanding rivalry with fellow UFC star Jorge Masvidal. Brandi Rhodes took to Twitter and asked what is the male version of a ‘Karen.’ Jorge Masvidal replied to Brandi Rhodes and stated that he is called Colby, directly referencing Colby Covington.
The two are set to duke it out at UFC 272 on March 5th in Las Vegas, Nevada. During a recent interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, Colby Covington claimed that Masvidal was a “thief” who went to jail for stealing a car and has two charges of grand theft auto among other things.
In other news regarding Colby Covington, during a recent appearance on Submission Radio, the former UFC fighter discussed how he believes Covington, will ultimately dictate the matchup even though he sees Covington struggling during the fight. Credit to MMAJunkie for the following.
“What I expect is for Covington to drown him for five rounds or less,” Hardy told Submission Radio. “I think he’s going to struggle to finish Masvidal, but I do think he’s going to be able to control him for good periods on the floor, and that comes down to Masvidal’s conditioning. I know as a lightweight, he was able to scramble and scramble.
Hardy would then continue:
“But as a welterweight, he’s a bit more calculated with when he expends that energy. He’s wise with it, but there are points where he does find himself stuck on the floor. … What’s most likely to happen is that Covington is gonna maul him and take a unanimous decision, probably 3-4 rounds to 1.”
