Woodley: ‘Big brother syndrome’ is Masvidal’s key to victory against Covington at UFC 272

If there’s another person who’s seen the Colby Covington-Jorge Masvidal feud up close, it would be Tyron Woodley. The former UFC welterweight champion once trained alongside both men at American Top Team, and he sought the help of Masvidal when he fought Covington in 2020.

Now that the former best friends and roommates are facing each other at UFC 272, “The Chosen One” broke down how the fight could go. One thing he mentioned is Masvidal’s “big brother” advantage.

“I feel like Masvidal is going to win because Masvidal is always big brother,” Woodley told MMA Junkie.
