““Just like I told you guys months ago, I said that Journeyman Street Judas Masvidal was gonna overprice himself. He thinks that his Broken Mediocre Fighter means something. It’s not worth anything. It’s a Bernie Sanders participation trophy. He overpriced himself. He thought he was worth Conor McGregor money, he was asking for five-ten million for fighting Marty Fake Usman, they didn’t want to give him anywhere even near that.””

Both the fighters go long back, and are former best-friends and ATT training partners, until recently where it was reported that Covington was allegedly fired from the gym. However, Covington did not see it as a weakness, and promised fight fans that the opportunity allows him to get even better and bigger with the coming days.
