Continuing what's been a whirlwind year, Jorge Masvidal has accepted a formal invitation to the White House, praising US President Donald Trump as "one bad motherf-----."
Masvidal finished 2019 by beating Nate Diaz in front of Trump, who was watching Octagonside at the UFC 244 event in Madison Square Garden, New York, to win a standalone BMF belt which stands for the "baddest mother f-----" in the game.
Masvidal told Business Insider recently that it was "pretty cool" to have performed so well in front of Trump.
"He's going through a lot getting impeached but no matter your views on him, that's one bad mother f-----. He's done a lot of crazy s--- that a lot of people wish they could do."
Masvidal said he'll be visiting Trump in his Oval Office at the White House in Washington DC, taking the opportunity to announce the news while belittling a rival — the MAGA-hat wearing wrestler Colby Covington, who had his jaw broken by Kamaru Usman in a recent title bout at UFC
"We've got an invitation to the White House so we'll be stopping at some point. Yeah, we'll be going," Masvidal said. "Mr. Trump asked us to go. Not like other fighters who get their jaw broken and are begging, 'Please, please Mr. President take me to your Oval Office.' We got a formal invite and everything. He saw my work and thought, 'This one cool, young man let's bring this guy on by.'"
