Jorge Masvidal: Tattoo meaning| New contract| Vs colby covington live
Tattoo Meaning:
Now-retired UFC star Ben Askren has hit out at Jorge Masvidal ‘s new flying-knee tattoo which pays homage to their 2019 fight.
Masvidal revealed the tattoo when he weighed in on Friday morning for his UFC 272 grudge fight with former teammate Colby Covington.
“This is potentially the worst tattoo of all time. He still smoked you tho,” a third commenter wrote. One user compared the tattoo to Dan Henderson’s brutal knockout of Michael Bisping at UFC 100, in which he made the flying elbow he landed as his signature logo.
New Contract:
Masvidal, 37, has become one of the biggest stars in MMA after a late-career renaissance that was jump-started in 2019 with knockouts of Darren Till and Ben Askren and a TKO win over Nate Diaz. Masvidal’s five-second running knee KO of Askren was the fastest finish in UFC history.
“His contract pays him like a champion and then some,” Kawa, who represents Masvidal along with his brother Abe Kawa, told ESPN. “And the length of time will be that he will finish his career in the UFC.”
Vs Colby Covington Live:
Masvidal (35-15) has dropped two straight, both in UFC welterweight title fights against Kamaru Usman, ESPN’s top pound-for-pound fighter. A Miami native, he has been in the UFC for nine years.
Masvidal fought all over the world before that and began his career doing backyard fighting in South Florida alongside the likes of the late Kimbo Slice.
At the UFC 272 news conference Thursday, Masvidal noted that he will be getting a portion of the pay-per-view revenue from the card, while Covington, his opponent, will not. Covington has said this fight, because of how personal it is, is not about the money.
