Colby Covington- Jorge Masvidal
UFC megastar Jorge Masvidal and welterweight Colby Covington is a never-ending hate story, and with their rivalry partially in the hands of the law, don’t expect any resolution between the two in your lifetime. Masvidal, a former BMF champion and Covington, the former interim-welterweight champion, were friends for 8 years who used to train together at American Top Team until Covington parted ways with the gym following an intense feud with Masvidal and other teammates like Dustin Poirier.
So Covington left American Top Team in 2019 to join MMA Masters the next year and both Masvidal and Covington traded verbal back and forth on Twitter, through interviews and on occasions, face to face as well. Masvidal and Covington eventually get to meet each other inside the Octagon at UFC 272 in March 2022, and Covington won a one-sided contest against Masvidal via unanimous decision. Following this, later on, the same month, Masvidal gets detained for some time for allegedly assaulting Covington on facing him outside a restaurant in Miami, Florida.
Jorge Masvidal still claims himself guilty amidst waiting for the “truth which is pending”
Masvidal always said that Covington’s trash-talking was past the limit every time Covington opened his mouth and therefore Masvidal wanted to pay Covington for the trash talk towards Masvidal’s personal life, including his children. Covington has issued a lawsuit ongoing for more than 2 months now against Masvidal that said he caused damage to Covington’s valuables and caused brain injury as well.
Masvidal came out at MMA Fighting’s THE MMA HOUR with Ariel Helwani to talk about how things are going as a part-time promoter in multiple organizations, his deal with Conor McGregor and his desire to have him as his return fight, and much more. However, not much though, Masvidal had something to say about the felonies against him as put on by Covington.
“Allegedly this, allegedly that, but I’m innocent. I’m not guilty. I’m facing three felonies if you want to know the exact truth, and it’s still pending. This guy’s a coward f**k, so what could I expect from a coward f**k like him?“ says Masvidal.
What do you make of Masvidal’s current reaction to the ongoing legal situation not in his favour? Who do you think was right in their feud, particularly on the night of the alleged assault, Masvidal or Covington? Who do you think Masvidal should return against? Where do you think Masvidal will be put against all-time fan favourite fighters?
