“It’s amazing that I’m going to be able to punch him in the face. I really don't like him and I'll be paid very well for it. I can't wait to expose it to the world again. He is a charlatan,” said Masvidal, in an interview with 'Fox News' Jesse Watters'.
Jorge's criticisms of Colby didn't stop there. The fighter took the opportunity to attack the political knowledge of his rival, a self-confessed fan of Donald Trump, former president of the United States.
“If you don’t believe me, ask him what his favorite law Trump passed while he was president is. Ask anything related to politics. You will see that it is a fraud. He keeps holding books to provoke triggers, but he doesn't know anything about them. Regarding fighting, it is very limited. I will show you what your limit is on March 5th,” he concluded.
Although he doesn't hide his confidence, Masvidal isn't experiencing his best moment in Ultimate. Defeated twice in a row in clashes against Kamaru Usman, valid for the welterweight title (under 77kg.), 'Jesus das Ruas' will step into the Octagon pressured for a positive result.
In a prominent position in the under-77kg group, Covington is in a similar situation to his opponent. In the last two years, 'Caos' accumulated three clashes, being defeated in two of them, precisely against Usman. Colby's victory came against Tyron woodley, in September 2020.
