Covington has vowed to "put Masvidal in the hospital" ahead of the major fight at the T-Mobile arena in March.
Speaking during the UFC’s official weigh-in show for UFC 270, he said: “I stepped up my training to another level I’ve never trained before. I’m training harder, more diligently, and more precise than I have in my entire career.
“I won’t use anything in the fight, there are no emotions when I step inside the Octagon, it’s all business, it’s all serious, focus, and gameplan.
"I’m not going to throw my game plan out the window, I’m going to go out there and fight how I fight. March 5, Jorge is in for a rude awakening, he’s not going to be the same person after I’m finished with him.
"No matter how much the UFC pays him, on March 5 when he wakes up in a hospital bed, all that money won’t be worth it.”
As always, fight cards are subject to change at any time, and with COVID-19 numbers still being high, there is a chance that several of the contests on this card may be set to change at any time.
