Jorge Masvidal has sent a message to Colby Covington a message in the lead up to their highly anticipated bout at UFC 272 in March — this and much more on Tuesday's social media roundup.
Jorge Masvidal sends a message to Colby Covington ahead of UFC 272
We haven't really been gifted with the most entertaining build up to Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington's fight at UFC 272 which is unusual as they are both two of the best promotional fighters in the world. This will probably be because both of them are so focused on training as it is a must win fight for both men.
The pre-fight trash talk has now started and it has been started by Masvidal.
See below to see the video which Masvidal posted to social media.

In the video, Masvidal vowed to beat Covington so badly that the UFC would release him after the fight.
Covington and Masvidal will face off against each other on March 5 in a fight which has been in the making for years and is filled with bad blood.
The feud between the two started off when Covington was kicked out of American Top Team and started talking trash about Masvidal and ever since then, the rivalry has escalated further.
In what will probably be one of the most anticipated fights of the year, who do you think will take home the W?
