It’s rare to see UFC President Dana White lost for words. However, ahead of UFC 272, a statement from Colin Cowherd left the UFC head speechless. During an interview, Cowherd claimed Jorge Masvidal has won his last five fights, and later he had another blunder.
The UFC is already a global organization. However, it is still in its early days and is getting more and more mainstream with every passing day. Also, media from every corner of the world wants to cover one of the fastest-rising organizations in the combat sports world.
Ahead of one of the biggest and most anticipated grudge matches in the UFC’s history, the UFC President was doing media to promote the event, where he encountered the reckoning statement that left him unspoken.

After claiming Masvidal has won his last five fights, Cowherd also said that Nate Diaz vs Conor McGregor 3 reminded him of the Ali-Frazier fight.
Though White understood the passion behind Cowherd’s statement and didn’t correct Colin Cowherd, the fans and UFC fighter Sean Brady were not too soft on Cowherd.
Brady on a post mentioning the errors made in the interview, commented, “Bro do these guys not do research literally would take 5 seconds to look up the fighters record.”

One fan was disappointed with Cowherd for claiming he is an MMA fan and making a blunder like this. They also suggested having someone look up the stats for Cowherd.
Highly disappointed in Cowherd, I watch him daily and he 'claims' that he's a big MMA fan and he actually attends PPV events, cmon dude you could've had an intern go to https://t.co/nMQqJ35XL3 and look up the record, smh

Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvidal will be more competitive than expected
The common notion is that Jorge Masvidal will have a tough time in the wrestling department against ‘Chaos‘. But perhaps people are not considering the fact that the welterweight champion Kamaru Usman had a tough time holding down ‘Gamebred‘.

In the first fight, though Usman held Masvidal in the clinch, he had a tough first round and barely controlled Masvidal on the ground.
Also, apart from losses to Usman, Masvidal has looked phenomenal in his fights. Masvidal finished his fights against Darren Till, Ben Askren, and Nate Diaz in spectacular performances.
