UFC272 Bryant vs Motor Poster
On March 5, UFC 272 will be led by Motor vs Kobe Bryant, a direct showdown between a pair of once best friends who turned against each other, which has also become a major selling point for the UFC to promote the event.
Kobe Covington, 33, with a professional record of 16 wins and 3 losses, an UFC record of 11 wins and 3 losses, is currently ranked 1st in the UFC sub-middleweights, while "Motor" Jorge Masvidar is 37 years old and has a professional record of 35 wins and 15 losses, and the UFC record is 12 wins and 8 losses, and currently ranks 6th.
From the point of view of record and ranking, the Motor and Kobe Bryant have a certain gap, and although both of them have lost the championship Usman twice recently, the Motor is a losing streak, and the second game has just been heavily KO, so the pressure on Kobe Bryant is also greater.
The motor was koned by Usman
But the UFC values The Motor is his influence, and the Motor has led the UFC 244 with Little Manett in 2019, which was the first time he led the UFC's PPV competition as a non-championship, which was a huge success, and the Motor won the world's only "BMF" (strongest villain) belt. Although he later lost to Usman twice, he was very successful in terms of the sales of the PPV of the event, indicating that his star aura is still dazzling. Therefore, the UFC believes that the aura of the motor and the grudge with Kobe Bryant have provided enough guarantee for the PPV sales of UFC 272 to remove Peter Yan and Sterling's rudimentary championship match from the day's competition.
However, in the view of the famous UFC commentator "Big Mouth" Somn, if three consecutive defeats are very harmful to the motor.
Sogn believes that the risk of the Motor playing with Kobe Bryant is high
Sogn said on his YouTube channel: "To be fair, I really have to show respect to Masvedar because it's a battle to end my career. "It's a big deal. There will be so much attention and so much hatred in this fight, and Mada – the second-biggest eye-catching superstar in a fighting event is losing twice – if he is knocked down and beaten for 25 minutes in the game, then BMF, the second-largest superstar Motor, will lose a lot of its luster. ”
"It's a big deal, Jorge signed up anyway. Damn, I was so impressed with him. ”
It's clear that Big Mouth admits that Motor is the UFC's second-most eye-catching superstar (the first is not to say mouth cannon), but also worries about Motor that if it loses miserably to Kobe, not only will the Giant Star Ring be lost or even end its career.
Do you think Bigmouth Sohan's concerns are justified?
