Michael Bisping has reacted after Jorge Masvidal released episode one of ‘The Story of Judas Covington’ to expose his former friend, Colby.<\/p>\n

Covington (16-3 MMA) and Masvidal (35-15 MMA), are set to do battle in the headliner of UFC 272 on March 5, in Las Vegas, Nevada.<\/p>\n

‘Chaos’ and ‘Gamebred’ will enter the Octagon<\/a> looking to rebound from recent losses.<\/p>\n

Covington (16-3 MMA), former interim welterweight title holder, recently suffered his second career defeat to \u2018The Nigerian Nightmare\u2019 at UFC 268 in November 2021.<\/p>\n

Masvidal hasn’t been in the win column since November 2019, and is coming off back-to-back losses to Kamaru Usman (20-1 MMA), the second fight ending in knockout.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The two fighters, have taken to social media to poke jabs at each other for months leading up to this fight. The latest being Mavidals’ release of a six minute video<\/a> of ‘Judas Covington’.<\/p>\n

Michael Bisping, ‘The Count’, speaking on his podcast ‘Believe You Me’ has provided commentary on his thoughts about the recent expose on Covington:<\/p>\n

“It’s great marketing.<\/em><\/p>\n

I don’t think they’re good friends. People are saying they’re playing everybody. I don’t think so. They were brothers and then they fall out and then they hate each other, because they were friends. If they weren’t friends, they wouldn’t hate each other.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

That’s what makes these fights so good.<\/em><\/p>\n

Colby has talked shit about Masvidals’ wife among other things. I’d be careful before I’d say those things again.<\/em><\/p>\n

I think for all the sh*t talk, they both want to win, they’re both coming off loses. It’s good fuel for the promotion.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s a must win scenario when it gets so personal.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Michael Bisping also commented on what he thinks the outcome will be, saying he’s leaning towards Masvidal for the win.<\/p>\n
