Treated like an underdog Chael Sonnen in the fight against Colby covington No. UFC 272, Jorge masvidal he is sure he will surpass his former friend on March 5th. In an interview with 'The MMA Hour', 'Jesus das Ruas' indicated that the former teammate made a serious mistake when signing the contract for the fight. In a serious statement, the athlete did not hide his intention to massacre his opponent.
"I got you. One thing he knows about me is that if you don't put me out like (Kamaru) Usman did, I'll keep going up. He can wrestle all he wants, but I'm going to put my elbow in his face. I'm going to come back and punch you in the stomach, in the knee. You will melt. I don't know if in the first or fourth round. I'll melt you, like I always did. I’m going to hit you harder than I’ve ever hit you before”, guaranteed the fighter.
UFC welterweight standouts (under 77kg), Masvidal and Covington already consider themselves best friends. Partners in their American Top Team days, the fighters have already lived together.
The fighters' relationship strained after Colby ended up leaving ATT due to problems with teammates. After leaving, 'Caos' began to publicly provoke members of the academy. The action angered Jorge and, from that, the rivalry began.
Even without a title fight at stake, the athletes headline the main event in March. At the show, the welterweights will have 25 minutes to resolve their issues.
