The BMF champion ripped into Colby Covington on live television. In the buildup to their grudge match at UFC 272, ‘Gamebred‘ went on a spit monologue against his opponent.
“It’s so amazing that I am going to get to punch this guy in the face and I really don’t like this guy, and I’m going to get paid for it–a big amount of money. And I can’t wait just to expose him once again to the world. He’s a charlatan.”
“If you don’t believe me, just ask him any–what’s his favorite law that Trump passed while Trump was in the presidency or anything like that? Ask that idiot anything politically related. You’ll see he’s just a fraud, man,” Masvidal said on Fox News.
“He’s just holding up books to get triggers and things like that, but he doesn’t know anything about what he talks about. And about fighting, he’s very limited. I’m going to show it, March, how limited he is.”
Jorge Masvidal released a video exposé of Colby Covington
