Jorge Masvidal. The former UFC fighter, once again spoke unflatteringly about the promotion's former welterweight title challenger Colby Covington.
"This guy will say anything. This guy wears skirts but doesn't tell anybody about it and falls asleep in a thong. Maybe he should be more open about himself. There aren't really PED tests anymore because USADA is dissolved, so here's another damn theory for you. Colby will just say anything to get people to say his stupid name, but ever since I "allegedly" took his soul outside of Papi's Steakhouse, he hasn't been posting or talking about me. He doesn't talk shit about me," Masvidal told Vlad TV.
The rematch between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal has a new date and a new venue.
The second fight between the two former UFC stars was originally scheduled to take place on June 1 at the Kia Forum Arena in Inglewood, California, but has now been rescheduled due to other events taking place on that date. The boxing bout will now take place on July 6 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, multiple sources said.
It is reported that the main reason for the postponement of the fight was the reluctance of the organizers to hold the event on the same day as the UFC 302 tournament, in the main event of which Islam Makhachev will defend the belt in the lightweight division against Dustin Puryear.
Recall that in the first fight Masvidal defeated Diaz by technical knockout. The meeting took place in November 2019 at UFC 244.
Former UFC welterweight title challenger Jorge Masvidal said his first fight with former division champion Kamaru Usman earned him five million dollars.
"In the end we managed to collect 1.3 million pay-per-view buys. If I hadn't signed a contract with the UFC where I was guaranteed a percentage of those buys, I wouldn't have been paid anywhere near $5 million. I would have felt like I was taken advantage of. If I was able to sell 100 million pay-per-view buys, I would want a much bigger share than you guys are offering me in a guaranteed payout," MMA Mania quoted Masvidal as saying.
Recall that Usman defeated Masvidal by unanimous decision of the judges in July 2020. In the rematch held in April of the following year, Kamaru won even more convincingly - by knockout.
Kamaru Usman, former UFC welterweight champion, has spoken out about Jake Paul's chances in MMA rules bouts against Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. Kamaru noted that he wouldn't be surprised to see Jake win those confrontations.
"Honestly, it's a time where anything can happen. I don't really know what to think. To say that Jake doesn't have a chance is complete nonsense. Everyone has a chance. Like I said, the world has been turned upside down. It's not all that unrealistic. Everything can happen," - stated the fighter.
Recall, earlier Jake Paul called a whole list of MMA fighters, who, according to him, refuse to fight with him.
Today, boxing blogger Jake Paul trashed MMA fighters who won't have a boxing match with him. Jorge Masvidal was among those fighters. Paul later explained why Jorge refuses to fight him.
"That's why they don't want Masvidal to box with me. The UFC has given Jorge a list of 35 names he's allowed to box with. Technically, he still has a contract with the UFC. He can fight Nate, there's another list of 35 names, but I'm not on that list," Jake said on the BS w/ Jake Paul YouTube channel.
Recall, his next fight Paul will hold against Mike Tyson.
