Colby Covington guarantees Masvidal’s comeback to the UFC octagon.
“I took away his confidence and his ego. He hasn’t been the same fighter,” Covington said. “It’s a fake retirement. We all know people in the UFC who don’t retire. He’ll get out the USADA pool, probably go do some steroids, and come back.” Jorge and Covington frequently exchange jibes at each other following their bitter rivalry. “He doesn’t know how to make money any other way… I can guarantee you he’ll be back to get a paycheck, “Covington adds.
