With UFC 272 on the horizon, Jorge Masvidal shared a retelling of the story of his rivalry with Colby Covington.
Masvidal uploaded a trailer-like hype video a few weeks before he's scheduled to square off with Covington, his former friend and sparring partner. The video highlighted the friendship between the duo, with clips of the two appearing in each other's corners for their fights.
Later on, the video showed their eventual fallout and the comments each of them made regarding the situation. Covington claimed that Masvidal grew jealous of his success, while 'Gamebred' insisted that 'Chaos' "ripped off" one of their coaches.
The promo also showcased some of the best highlights from both men's careers. Needless to say, UFC 272 will be one of the most anticipated pay-per-views of the year, thanks to the history and bad blood between Masvidal and Covington.
Check out the hype video for Colby Covington vs. Jorge Masvidal:
Jorge Masvidal vows to derail Colby Covington's career
It's no secret that there's real animosity between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. That said, it appears that Masvidal won't be satisfied with just beating his former pal.
In a video he uploaded to Twitter, 'Gamebred' vowed to defeat Covington in a "violent way" and derail his career. According to Masvidal:
"Keep talking s***, though. I can't wait. March 5th is getting closer and so is this knee to your temple. Not only am I going to break your face in a very violent way, but the UFC is going to see you as such a liability they're going to kick you out. And then it's going to be back to Indian reservations where you can fight. Maybe you can co-main event or some s*** like that because I don't think you can main event after I'm done with you in any show."
Two of the biggest stars in the division, Masvidal and Covington, are looking for redemption as they're both coming off losses in title fights against divisional monarch Kamaru Usman. Their UFC 272 main event showdown will be a rare instance of a non-title fight headlining a numbered event.
