Maryna Moroz is doubling down on her callout of ex-teammate, Mariya Agapova.

Moroz recently claimed Agapova struggled with jealousy and was a drug addict which is why she got kicked out of American Top Team. Along with that, Moroz claims Agapova was flirting with other fighters as well as trying to hurt them in purpose in training. However, Agapova was quick to deny those allegations and instead said she wanted to fight Moroz.

Now, the former teammates are set to face one another at UFC 272 on March 5 and ahead of the scrap, Moroz doubled down on the trash-talk of Agapova. The event will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and will be headlined by a grudge match between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal.

“Before, I said she’s a dangerous person and it’s true. She used drugs, we have all the proof. Videos, screenshots, everything. And of course, I didn’t post it. I don’t need to. I don’t need my Instagram showing garbage,” Moroz said to CageSide Press. “This girl is garbage. I don’t want my Instagram looking like garbage. I show OnlyFans, beautiful pictures, but now I can show the journalists who is real and who is who. ‘Mashka’ is a person who is a liar, very dangerous. In interviews, she’s ‘Oh, I’m nice girl, I’m training,’” Moroz continued. “Of course, she trains, but she used drugs. She was crazy and dangerous saying she’d kill me and want to cut my face.”

Given the history between the two, this fight will be highly anticipated. Agapova called for it to happen and got her wish, as she said that she wanted to punish Moroz for her comments. She will get her chance to do so at UFC 272.

What do you make of Maryna Moroz’s trash talk about her former teammate in Mariya Agapova?

BMF Champion Jorge Masvidal won’t pull any punches if a rematch happens against Nate Diaz.

UFC 272 goes underway on March 5. Masvidal will face his former training partner and rival Colby Covington. The headlining event is sure to drop jaws as pre-fight tension is at an all-time high.

The two fighters are going back and forth with vicious verbal attacks on social media and interviews, setting up what could be the most hate-fueled fight in recent history. However, a recent uptick in Masvidal’s rivalry with Nate Diaz may bump the Covington fight down a few notches.

The conflict between Masividal and Diaz has been brewing since their first battle in 2019. The fight ended in a doctor stoppage at the end of round 3. And although Masvidal was the winner and claimed the BMF belt, of course, Nate Diaz would not let that be the end of it.

Social media would see a lot of tweets from Diaz expressing his honest disapproval of Masvidal as well as mocking him. Because of this, Masvidal feels disrespected by Diaz and would be willing to fight him before a rematch with Usman after the Covington fight.

“That little fu***** broomstick keeps talking, you’re going to have to go at some point, you know. [When] I take Colby’s a** out, if I gotta wait for Usman, it could be you that gets this a**whooping, bro… Let’s fu***** go, man, I’m gonna break your fu***** face, bro,” said Masvidal (h/t SportsKeeda),

Many fighters know the game of trash talk. With many fights, it is the foundation to get fans pumped to watch. For Masvidal, he would just love the opportunity to shut Diaz up.

Another title shot is still on “Gamebred’s” mind. However, it can be put on hold so long as he gets a rematch against Diaz.

“It’s not a call out. After handling business, I’m going for the title, and if I don’t have time to go for the title, I’m gonna break your fu***** face for all the s*** talking you’ve done,” Masvidal continued.

Only time will tell if Masvidal and Diaz will run it back. Clearly, though, it is a priority on Masvidal’s list. Fans will have to wait and see if Diaz will be on board.

What are your thoughts on the prospect of Masvidal vs. Diaz 2?

Jessica Eye has revealed that she wants to wrestle in All Elite Wrestling.

A little over a week until UFC 272 and Jessica already has her “Evil” eye on another athletic venture.

Eye will face Manon Fiorot on March 5 in an early preliminary bout. Her French opponent is currently on a dominant eight-fight win streak, suffering only one loss via split decision–at the start of her professional MMA career.

Jessica’s last bout was in 2021 against Jennifer Maia at UFC 264. After losing the match, Eye had an opportunity for redemption a few months later. However, the bout was canceled due to Eye being hospitalized for an illness.

It will be Eye’s 30th professional match at UFC 272. And after several back-to-back losses, it will be her chance to get back in the winner’s circle.

However, win or lose, she wants a slice of All Elite Wrestling.

Recently, on February 21, Jessica Eye made a statement in regards to AEW.

“I want to wrestle in AEW,” tweeted Jessica.

Short and sweet. And with a long list of other MMA fighters that have jumped on the AEW bandwagon, Eye would fit perfectly.

She will join Paige Vanzant, Junior Dos Santos, Kayla Harrison, and many others that made cameos on the professional wrestling show. Even the BMF champ Jorge Masvidal got the AEW audience riled up when he made an appearance.

With fighter pay still an ongoing issue within the UFC, many of the promotion’s fighters have branched out, or retired, to acquire money elsewhere. Eye, currently 15 wins, 10 losses, and 1 No Contest, maybe another addition to that growing list.

Her possible transition to AEW begs the question: face or heel? The nickname “Evil” may prompt fans to push for the latter.

Jorge Masvidal has sent a warning message to former friend and teammate Colby Covington ahead of the pair’s matchup at UFC 272.

Following on from their falling out both men began working their way up the welterweight rankings having both earned title shots in recent years. Now less than a month away from when the two are set to fight and it appears things are beginning to heat up even more between the pair.

Jorge Masvidal Fires Shots At Colby Covington

Jorge Masvidal took to social media to continue from where he left off and directly tagged Colby Covington in his latest barrage of abuse.

“At the home, the temple, home to some real motherf*ckers. Left and right, I’m not the only one here that’s a bad motherf*cker. Many bad motherf*ckers here. But not your b*tch ass that got kicked out from here. Damn, man. I know it hurts every time you see that sh*t.

£I know what a sensitive b*tch you are and how you read comments and cry. I can’t imagine every time you see this symbol, it just hurts, man. Keep talking sh*t though. I can’t wait.

“March 5th is getting closer, so is this knee to your temple. Not only am I going to break your face in a very violent way but the UFC is going to see you’re such a liability that they’re gonna kick you out, bro.

Then it’s going to be back to Indian reservations where you can fight, maybe you can co-main event or some sh*t like that because I don’t even think you can main event after I’m done with you, in any show. I’m gonna f*ck you up, man. Keep talking that sh*t though. March 5th can’t come close enough. See you soon, b*tch. Never forget.”

Unusually for Colby Covington, he didn’t respond and has remained quiet throughout most of Jorge Masvidal’s attacks including Masvidal’s video calling out ‘The Real Street Judas’. (transcribed by Mmafighting.com)

Jorge Masvidal Drops Ruthless Video Blasting Colby Covington

Jorge Masvidal Colby Covington

Jorge Masvidal decided to take things up a notch in his feud with Colby Covington after releasing a compilation video attacking his former best friend and training partner.

Masvidal and Covington will get to settle their differences just next month when the pair are scheduled to headline UFC 272. However, that hasn’t stopped either man from taking jabs at the other in the build-up to their fight.

Masvidal even decided to use a Covington line against the man himself calling his video ‘The Real Street Judas’ to get under his skin.

Covington often refers to Masvidal as ‘Street Judas’ which is taken from Masvidal’s self-given nickname of ‘Street Jesus’.

The video highlights a compilation of Covington’s moments over the last few years highlighting where he has made some questionable decisions, and Masvidal doesn’t plan for this to be the last shot fired at his UFC 272 opponent after revealing on his Twitter there is more to come.

The video can be found here:

Jorge Masvidal’s Welterweight Future

Having had two attempts at the current champion, it is unlikely we will see Masvidal back in the title frame soon. However, a win on Colby Covington would absolutely boost his chances. Welterweight has become one of the more active divisions since the turn of the year with every fighter ranked in the top eight either having a matchup scheduled in or having made way into conversations about fights.

As for Jorge Masvidal, if he were to win here let’s assess his options. One fight the UFC could always look to is Leon Edwards Vs. Jorge Masvidal. Given the pair’s history and previously cancelled bouts this one would make a lot of sense.

 If Edwards can best Usman and claim gold and Masvidal beats Covington, there is already a solid storyline built up. If both men lose the fight still makes sense, both would be looking to get back in the win column and they would finally get a chance to settle their differences.  Given the winner or Muhammad Vs. Luque is expected to be next in line for the title.

Another option the UFC could look to is Gilbert Burns, rumours are circulating that he is going to fight Khamzat Chimaev in April. Both men would be on a similar timeline and Masvidal is aware he will have to take out the elite contenders if he wants to get a shot back at gold. A highly ranked name like Burns and Covington would surely be enough for him.

Jorge Masvidal Thinks Donald Trump Favors Him Over Colby Covington

Jorge Masvidal thinks he has the support of former U.S. President Donald Trump ahead of his grudge match with Colby Covington at UFC 272.

Masvidal is set to face his former American Top Team teammate and friend Covington in the UFC 272 main event. It’s arguably one of the most highly anticipated welterweight fights in recent memory.

Masvidal and Covington may not have a lot in common anymore, but both of them have a history with former president Trump leading up to their fight. Trump attended Masvidal’s win over Nate Diaz for the BMF belt at UFC 244, and Masvidal was a big supporter of his 2020 re-election campaign.

Masvidal also has a strong relationship with the Trump family as a whole and teamed up with Donald Trump Jr. to host a “Fighters Against Socialism” bus tour leading up to the election.

Covington has also been a vocal supporter of Trump over the years, especially after his win over Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 225. Just weeks after the fight, Covington was invited to the White House to meet with Trump alongside UFC President Dana White.

Covington also attended one of the presidential debates between Trump and Joe Biden in 2020.

Nevertheless, Masvidal believes he gets more love from the former president. During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Masvidal gave his opinion on who the 45th president will be rooting for on March 5.

“There’s only one. Gamebred…for a fact, man,” Masvidal said. “Ask this dude. He knows what a fighter looks like. He was around boxing forever. He knows what a nuthugger, ass-kissing machine like Colby looks like. Colby tried to kiss his hand and Trump was weirded out. He tried to pull that shit back. That’s on video, man….

“It’s me all day. Did Trump FaceTime with Colby’s ass and his kids? No. Trump did that with me.”

The buildup to UFC 272 is expected to be drama-filled leading up to the fight between Masvidal and Covington. It’s unknown whether or not Trump plans to attend the fight in Las Vegas, but he’s likely to be a fixture of the pre-fight trash talk.
