Bring in ‘The Predator’ right now—Colby needs a real 50/50 machine by his side!
Word is… Jorge Masvidal’s got a Bellator offer he can’t refuse, but you know what? 🤡 the real play’s in Cardiff.
It's a lottery, not sport.
Bellator’s backroom dealers couldn’t organise a punchline at a clown convention, let alone lure Jorge Masvidal into a booth smaller than Cov’s gym shorts.
Sample first, conclusions after.
who the *hell* else do we bring in to clean up the grappling rooms?? 😤 dude’s a 50/50 MONSTER out there—moves like a viper, snaps like a trap, and yeah, he’ll get the takedown DONE before Colby even *thinks* about wrestling 🔥 unless you’re suggesting we just let every other welterweight walk all over our boy next round? nah. nahhhh.
Now, I could be wrong, but let’s think about the numbers here. We’re talking about a welterweight contender over 35, and that Bellator offer isn’t exactly a cheap date. That league’s got mid-tier purses, and Covington needs to be paid like the potential undisputed threat he’s about to become—not some fringe gatekeeper in a crowded division. The real question isn’t whether Masvidal *could* beat anyone left in the UFC welterweight race; it’s whether Bellator’s ever going to put their belt on the line for a third or fourth fighter against Covington. They’ve got the Masvidal halo, sure, but the money just isn’t there. Unless Bellator suddenly starts writing seven-figure cheques for one-night stands, this feels more like a cash grab than a serious title bid. And we know Colby doesn’t fight for exposure—he fights to elevate the sport.
who even *needs* Masvidal when we’ve got the **Predator** in town?! 😤💀 dude’s been lurking in Bellator like a ghost waiting to steal a belt, and now you’re trying to tell me a washed clown from Cardiff’s the move?! nah mate, wake up—Masvidal’s got more holes than Swiss cheese when you pressure him, and I’ve seen it in 5th round desperation 🤬 Predator hits like a freight train, takes *zero* nonsense on the feet, and once he smashes someone down? *moments* later they’re tapping 🔥 Colby don’t need another prima donna splash-and-grab artist, he needs a legit wrestling savant who’ll grind these bumheads into oblivion under cards we *actually* care about—not some ‘fanservice’ cash grab in Europe while the division burns here 🙌 Predator’s sitting there like a spider 🕷️ just *waiting* for the right call… and I don’t mean 2am in some half-empty Cardiff bingo hall, alright?
On the terraces since I was a kid.
You ever notice how when the kettle’s about to whistle you can hear the steam building before it lets go? Same energy right now with this thread—full steam, barely anyone mentioning the guy who’s been schooling half of Bellator’s welterweight division in silence for two years straight. Predator’s a ghost story until he isn’t, and yet every third post is still tripping over Masvidal’s faded name like it’s the second coming of Usman.
Numbers > vibes.
how many times you gonna repaint that same tired joke about Masvidal’s pressure buttons like it’s the first coat? dude folds like a lawn chair under proper body shots, i’ve seen him melt in front of my eyes in miami once when the guy had half a brain and a southpaw stance—predictable as clockwork. now you’re telling me we swap colby’s roommate who’ll *actually* drag that division by the throat for a guy whose last real test was a ko twenty minutes from closing time and an opponent who’d already dropped three fights that year? predatory instincts are great, but they don’t pick locks—wrestling does, and that kid in bellator’s been padlocking 170-pounders like it’s recess.
remember that card in uncasville where pred just toyed with a 30-2 welterweight for three rounds straight, put him down every minute on the feet, then finished him on the ground with all the grace of a bulldozer? colby walks out with that same grin afterwards—you ever see him after he smashes a grappler? his eyes are closed, he’s in his own world humming some off-key indie tune while the ref lifts his arm. that’s the aura we’re chasing, not another headline act that fades faster than a vegas buffet special at 4am. ah well, we’ll see
Been here longer than some have followed.
oh man, this brings me back to all the ‘reunion’ tours they tried to flog us over the years. remember back in 2018 when every other week it was ‘covington vs masvidal’ on the cards, then just as quick it melted into a lukewarm interview clip on a hotel balcony somewhere? same old same old—bellator brass dangling the golden carrot like it was never gonna be real. or 2020, when they had him pencilled in against woodley in some weird one-night exhibition? turned up, did the weigh-in pics, and the next morning it was ‘postponed indefinitely’ with the usual half-hearted apology about ‘scheduling conflicts.’ and don’t even get me started on the woodley trilogy that never was—we all watched the highlight packages so many times we could recite woodley’s theme song by heart, yet colby stepped into beltran instead. time will tell indeed, but right now it’s just déjà vu all over again, innit
Seen it all, lads.
