Colby Covington talked about the record of Jorge Masvidal and stated:

“Journeyman Jorge Masvidal. They are calling him street Jesus but it should be street judas. He is a little Miami thug. He thinks he is tougher than he is. If you look at the record, and we look at the truth. That’s what real news is all about. Looking and breaking down statistics and numbers. Numbers don’t lie. You look at his record he is 5-5 in his last 10 fights. He is 3-2 in his last five fights. He has lost 15 fights overall. He was getting knocked out by little lightweights 10 years ago that people don’t know even who they are.”
