While I have no doubt at all that Covington will be the favorite entering the fight, I hope like hell Masvidal lights him up.
I hope Masvidal destroys him. Colby Covington is unbearable in my opinion. He’s a great fighter, but his shtick is painful to watch.
On top of that fact, I’m a huge fan of Masvidal. The more I learn about the man, the more I like him. He’s an insanely impressive fighter, and he’s a straight shooter.
While more and more athletes go woke, Masvidal is never afraid to praise America and call out the nonsense going on in this country.
In our current culture, that’s an incredibly rare attitude.
