ATT Coach Mike Brown believes already training with Colby Covington will help Jorge Masvidal

The former WEC featherweight champion and ATT coach Mike Brown foresees ‘The Chaos’ as a tough opponent for his pupil. However, according to him, it is easier to game plan against a fighter you have already seen. With Covington being a former ATT fighter, Brown definitely knows the strength and weaknesses of ‘The Chaos‘.

Meanwhile, the former interim champion has moved to a new gym, MMA Masters in Miami, and has looked better than ever.
