Jorge Masvidal
The main event of UFC 272 was headlined by the grudge match between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. These two were former best friends, but a series of unfortunate events made them hate each other, and things got so bad, that these two started training at different gyms to avoid any conflict.
After a lot of back and forth, these two finally got the chance to settle their beef inside the octagon. Covington talked a lot of sh*t coming in this fight, and Masvidal promised to make him pay inside the octagon. These two started out pretty evenly, but Covington soon gained the upper hand with his advanced wrestling.
His pace and pressure were too much for Masvidal, and Covington dominated him for all five rounds to get the victory. Masvidal came out and accepted his wrestling was sloppy. In another interesting turn of events, Masvidal assaulted Jorge outside a restaurant in Miami, and he faced some serious charges for the same.
“I was upset, and I just like to be in isolation”- Jorge Masvidal took some time away from civilization after his loss to Colby Covington
The MMA community had mixed reactions to the assault, but Masvidal kept his mouth shut about the whole incident. Now for the first time, he has reacted to his loss. Talking to Logan Paul on The Impaulsive podcast, he said, “I was f****** irate. I was upset, and I just like to be in isolation when I get like that. It’s better for me. Take a couple days to figure it out and if I have a problem and I can’t figure it out, f***, then it’s a real problem.”
He added, “I could fail at something, but if I could find a way to fix it, then I can go back and address it again, then I can sleep with peace at night. So that’s what I did, five, six days in that nowhere land, like, ‘F***,’ and then I came up with a plan, and now I’m gonna execute that plan.”
