Former UFC luminary Jorge Masvidal did not mince words when addressing his rival Colby Covington’s attempt to lay blame on Donald Trump for his recent defeat.
Masvidal announced his retirement from mixed martial arts last year. He is currently promoting his GameBred BareKnuckle MMA promotion.

“For him to go out there and involve Trump’s name so much and then say people don’t like because I roll with Trump and they robbed because of Trump, you’re f—ing piece of sh-t, and now you’re blaming the greatest President this country has ever seen? You’re blaming your shitty a– loss in which you didn’t do a damn thing, everyone says, even your mom says you’re a f—ing bum, you’re going to blame that on Trump because you’re such a f—ing bum? He’s such a piece of sh–”
