UFC star Jorge Masvidal came to shield the UFC commentator Jon Anik, who was on the receiving end of alarming threats by Colby Covington. Notably, ‘Chaos’, who shares a rotten dynamic with Belal Muhammad, turned his attention to the UFC personnel after he spitted harsh words to ‘Remember The Name’. The equation between the #2 ranked Welterweight, and the commentator turned sour after he stood on the scales as a backup fighter for the headliner at UFC 286. While the former ESPN anchor sympathized with Muhammad over his crooked luck, his comments didn’t sit well with Covington. As a result, he unleashed a flurry of degrading comments along with death threats.
