Megastar Jorge Masvidal took to Twitter and chimed in on the trailer launch of the newest COD installment. Masvidal hasn?t often been one to co-sign video game releases, but it seems Cold War is a clear-cut exception. Once ?Gamebred? slaps on the hashtag ‘supernecessary’, there?s no doubt that fans of the BMF will pay attention.

Undisputed featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski took things one step further than his counterparts. Alexander ?The Great? appeared alongside Tennis superstar Nick Kyrgios in his own feature via the official Call of Duty Twitter handle.

Former UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway couldn?t contain his excitement over the Call of Duty launch trailer. Unlike Jorge Masvidal, ‘Blessed’ is one of the most prolific gamers in the MMA community. Moreover, he?s a frequent streamer on the Twitch application.
Chiefly, only Robert Whittaker could give ?Blessed? Holloway a run for his money in that regard. Not to mention his good friend Daniel Cormier, who?s an avid gamer in his own right.
