Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvidal
The grudge match between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal is going to be for all the marbles. The storyline for this one can’t be more perfect. These two are former best friends who used to train and live together. They were helping each other out on their journey, but a series of unfortunate events severed that bond of friendship, and now they can’t wait to take each others’ heads off inside the octagon.
They used to train at ATT, and everything changed when Colby won the interim welterweight title. According to Masvidal, he denied paying their coach, and that rubbed him off in the wrong way. He walked up to Covington to discuss this, but the conversation escalated quickly, and they had to be separated by the gym staff.
After that, these two would go back and forth inside the gym, and eventually, Colby was asked to leave the gym. He developed a hatred towards Masvidal, and everybody else in the gym, and now he’ll get a chance to settle it all at the main event of UFC 272.
“He tries to hide it but he’s a s**tty poker player“- Jorge Masvidal goes off on Colby Covington’s inability to take criticism
It’s only natural that they know a lot about each other, Masvidal opened up about Covington’s weakness in a recent interview, he said, “He used to f—king read comments and ball up and start to cry. In his interviews at first when he was nice and would just wrestle guys, and was like ‘I just want to win.'”
He added, “People would just s—t on him left and right, like saying he’s boring and quit the sport. I had to mentor him, but you can’t get upset about what somebody that you don’t know says.”
“He can’t take that criticism… He truly breaks, he tries to hide it but he’s a s—tty poker player so you can see it. He gets nervous and mad and he gets mad herpes so he has to wear glasses. His herpes breaks out and it’s f—king disgusting. That’s why he wears glasses in indoor places, it’s crazy right. F—king pig,” Masvidal concluded.
