Colby Covington went after the welterweight title against Leon Edwards at UFC 296. Bad blood was boiling between the two after ‘Chaos’ disrespected Edwards’ late father during his trash-talk stint. Also, former US President Donald Trump was at the arena to support Covington. However, he lost the fight as ‘Rocky’ dominated him throughout the 5 rounds. Now, Covington’s foe Jorge Masvidal criticized his performance via Instagram.

It was well known to the MMA world that Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington were arch-enemies. As such, Masvidal didn’t hold back in sharing a fan’s opinion filled with derogatory comments towards Colby Covington. He shared it on his Instagram handle. The fan went all out on ‘Chaos’ and called him a ‘B***h’. Further, he mentioned that he deserved everything including the loss and humiliation he had against Edwards in UFC 296.

Dude talks sh** just to lose every round. This b***h needs to retire. Colby had everything what happened to him coming because he's a piece of sh**. I know it's the fight game and your gonna hear insults but all this dude done is a clown act. @gamebredfighter (Jorge Masvidal) had every right to punch him at the steakhouse.

But Masvidal did more damage outside the octagon as he attacked ‘Chaos’ in front of a steakhouse later. This was the incident mentioned in the Instagram story of ‘Gamebredfighter’.

Colby Covington took the physical confrontation to legal authorities and sued Jorge Masvidal. Only over a year did ‘Gamebred’ cut a plea deal with the court to be free. As such, the hatred between the two former friends only increased and didn’t cool off. As for their careers, Masvidal retired from professional fighting at UFC 287 and Covington just returned to the octagon after a long layoff.

Colby Covington pressed charges after Jorge Masvidal attacked him in front of a steakhouse in Florida. According to reports, ‘Chaos’ suffered injuries including a broken tooth and concussion. The incident happened just over two weeks after their meeting in the octagon at UFC 272. Finally, after more than a year’s struggle ‘Gamebred’ found closure for the case. However, the beef between the two remained the same, if only it had grown.

There were a lot of expectations on ‘Chaos’ but he disappointed his supporters with his performance. As such, he lost the fight via unanimous decision. On the other hand, Masvidal enjoys his life as a fight promoter promoting his own company Gamebred FC.
