Kamaru Usman says Covington and Masvidal might be underestimating each other

This fight is coming up fast on March 5th, just three days away from now! This fight should be really fun to watch since both fighters have had such intriguing problems with each other in the past. A beautiful friendship turned into a ugly problem after training in the same place and jealousy happening in the friendship according to Covington. Jorge Masvidal is an American professional MMA fighter. He currently competes in the Welterweight division for the Ultimate Fighting Championship . Masvidal has been competing professionally since 2003; he has also competed for Bellator, Strikeforce, Shark Fights, and World Victory Road. The reason why Masvidal became so famous so fast was because of a flying knee that broke the record in the UFC of “fastest knockout”. When this happened Colby and Masvidal were still best friends and Covington was in his corner in this fight as well. Jorge has a record of 35-16 and has fought really big legends before like Kamaru Usman, Ben Askren who was the fighter he won in 5 seconds against, Darren Till, Damien Maia and a lot more as well.

Usman Kamaru who has beaten both of these fighters before in his career say that the two fighters might be underestimating each other before this fight actually happens.
