Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight rivals Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington may be at war on just about everything under the sun, but one thing they do agree on is the future of the country under the leadership of President Donald Trump.
Who’s up for reelection in November (as if you didn’t know).
That’s why Masvidal will join a group of fellow mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters for a one-day bus tour across “The Sunshine State,” where “Gamebred” and Co. will speak out against socialism, an issue close to the Cuban’s heart.
“Jorge Masvidal will join Donald Trump Jr. on a day long ‘Fighters Against Socialism’ bus tour across Florida this Saturday,” ESPN reporter Ariel Helwani wrote on Twitter. “They will hold three rallies in Tampa, Orlando and Miami. Their final rally will be at the American Top Team gym where they expect numerous fighters to join.”
The same American Top Team that gave Covington the boot.
With Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns set to collide for “The Nigerian Nightmare’s” 170-pound strap, Masvidal is expected to battle “Chaos” at some point later this year or first quarter 2021; however, nothing is official at this time.
Stay tuned.
