“I think he breaks him again,” Jorge Masvidal predicts Kamaru Usman will knock out Colby Covington again in the rematch
Jorge Masvidal, Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington
The UFC Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman defeated Jorge Masvidal in a rematch at UFC 261 via TKO, giving ‘Gamebred’ the first knockout loss of his MMA career.
Usman already defeated many of the top 10 welterweight fighters and now he got the only option to face some of them twice. It is believed that the former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington is next in the line for a title shot.
But Covington’s former teammate and all-time rival, Jorge Masvidal predicts this is fight is going to be one easier win for Kamaru Usman. In his latest interview with ESPN, Masvidal says,
“I think Kamaru keeps his hands up and comes to fight Colby the same fight that he did the first time. He just puts a thorough beating on him, Colby will try and get some takedowns on him, and it might not work.”
“Colby’s gas tank with other wrestlers is not something he wants to do. That’s why he didn’t take a shot in the first fight because he knows he’s gonna have to get tired.” {H/T MMA Junkie}
Jorge Masvidal continued, “As long as Kamaru is in wrestling shape and comes in the same as the first time, hands up, pressuring him, I think he breaks him again. His hands are where they need to be at right now.”
“I bet he’s gonna have more confidence than ever because he knows I’m somebody that’s never been finished so he can definitely take that with pride of honor, put his hard head on, keep getting the work. I think he gets a finish on Colby.” {H/T MMA Junkie}
Jorge Masvidal knows Covington will keep calling him out
Jorge Masvidal has faced Kamaru Usman in his last two fights and he faced loss in both of them. Now ‘Gamebred’ is aiming to fight one more time towards the end of this year and he knows Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington will keep calling him.
Masvidal added, “I got plenty of groupies, and it just goes to show you that whether I win or lose, they’re always gonna be calling me out, these mother**kers will always be on my d**k, so it’s like (blows kiss), I love my groupies.” {H/T MMA Junkie}
