Kamaru Usman, one of the great names in the UFC, was extremely dissatisfied with the controversy between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington
Kamaru Usman was not very happy with the controversy between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. Recently, the two exchanged barbs at press conferences and interviews, and the Cuban would have been arrested for having attacked his American rival in a restaurant in Miami. For the reigning welterweight champion of UFCthis kind of attitude is totally inappropriate.
I do not like it. Both guys, I believe, are wrong. You can’t just do what you want and say what you want just because you want to sell something, and I think that’s wrong – very wrong.“, he highlighted.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
Kamaru Usman went on to criticize Masvidal and Covington: “But also, you can’t, as an athlete – as an elite athlete, you’re one of the best athletes in the world – you can’t go out attacking someone in the street. Yes, I understand it’s another athlete, but you can’t do that outside of competition. So both guys lost on this one. But I pray for them, I hope they’re okay“.
According to Kamaru Usman, the two rivals were unhappy in their attitudes and cannot let the squabbles between the two leave the Octagons and leave the UFC. The Nigerian showed great dissatisfaction with Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington during a live he participated and highlighted that the sport ends up being devalued with this type of event.
“It’s unfortunate, because it’s gaining legs and moving out of sports into actuality and reality. This is the danger of what you say trying to promote a fight. You have to watch your mouth. You can’t just go around saying what you want and expect your opponent to keep up the sport. Of course, some people, like me, am wise enough to understand that you can say whatever you want.“, followed.
“At the end of the day, I’m going to talk to my hands when we get in there (in the cage), because that’s what I’m here for, to compete. You can say and do whatever you want to try to take me out of my competitive edge, which is my mind, but in the end, you can’t. I’ll go in there and take care of business. But in this case, you said a lot that crossed the line and some people aren’t wise enough not to risk everything outside (the octagon)“, finished.
