Sean O'Malley on Jorge Masvidal
Sean O’Malley offers his take on Masvidal assaulting Covington! Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington are one of the biggest rivals in the sport of MMA. The two fighters turned from best friends to the worst of enemies and got the opportunity to settle things inside the octagon at UFC 272. Covington, as usual, talked a lot of smack leading up to the fight which surely got under the nerves of Masvidal.
The two headlined the event and Covington got the last laugh as he won the fight via unanimous decision. Irrespective of the outcome of the fight, both the fighters said out in public that they two will definitely fight in public. Soon enough, Masvial ambushed Covington outside a restaurant in Miami and attacked the fighter.
Many criticized Covington for his move, and bantamweight contender, Sean O’Malley had something to say about the whole incident. Talking on This Past Weekend podcast, he said, “That’s like some thug gangster s**t. I grew up in Helena, Montana, I’m not raised to do that. He grew up in the f**king streets doing s**t, maybe not like that, but fighting, so that probably seemed normalish to him. Just how he was raised.”
“Maybe Jorge thought people will love it”- Sean O’Malley is critical of Jorge Masvidal’s actions
O’Malley claimed that Colby was roasting Masvidal on daily basis after their fight, and he was doing this for the sake of entertainment. Jorge, on the other hand, was already pissed off at him, and maybe he thought assaulting Colby would make people like him even more. “Colby posted like five days in a row 50-45, 50-45, like five days in a row on Instagram, tagging Jorge, just talking sh*t,” O’Malley continued. “There’s a fine line between entertainment and making it personal and some people are on different lines. Colby was on the entertainment line. Jorge was on the personal line.”
“I think Colby was on the personal line too. It’s not a good look for Jorge. People loved it when he did it to Leon, boom-boom-boom, pieced him up right there, loved it. Leon Edwards, he hit him backstage at the UFC, boom-boom-boom, three piece and a biscuit, people f**king loved that. Maybe Jorge thought I’m gonna do it to Colby, people will love it. Maybe that didn’t cross his mind, I dunno. I’m a fan of both, regardless of it,” O’Malley concluded.
