Jorge Masvidal puts “b*tch” Colby Covington on notice: “I’ll be at the gym”
One thing is for sure: Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington are no longer friends. While the two of them have been good friends for a long time, both training at American Top Team, the two now seem to be on bitter terms. Both fighters compete in the welterweight division, and as both are shooting for a title shot, if Masvidal and Covington both plan on achieving their goal a fight would be inevitable.

After that Masvidal and Nate Diaz began setting themselves up for a fight, which has now materialised as the main event at UFC 244, Covington went off on his former friend.
.@GamebredFighter I know you’re dumb and desperate, but you spelled JOURNEYMAN TITLE wrong junior. Reading is fundamental and #supernecessary. Just like WINNING is #supernecessary to get title fights. You should try both sometime, you trash bag. https://t.co/OTjrSKNbOI

The attack was perhaps motivated by Covington’s planned match up with reigning champion Kamaru Usman being scrapped. The title fight was targeted for UFC 244, but negotiations went sour and the fight never materialised.
Now in an appearance on The Ariel Helwani MMA Show, Masvidal has fired back. In his classic, authentic manner, he takes aim and Covington, and is ready for a man-to-man meeting at the gym.
“All I know is that he knows what fucking gym I’m at, and when I’m fucking there,” Masvidal said, speaking on the Ariel Helwani MMA Show, transcribed by The Mac Life. “Actually maybe he doesn’t know. So I could be at the gym tomorrow or Thursday. Whenever you want, Colby, I could be at the fucking gym, and whatever incidents you’re having, we can talk about it like men. He had to tell Dana White that I was trying to assault him. Dana White came over to me like I’m in kindergarden talking about, ‘Don’t give out no three piece and soda’. I go, ‘What the fuck are you talking about Dana?’ and he goes, ‘No Colby’s telling me you’re trying to assault him, you can’t do that’.
“I’m like this guy’s such a bitch. I told him let’s talk like men. Why are you online doing all this shit? For a like? For a follow off a fan? That’s how low your soul is? Because two weeks ago he’s the one saying I’m his best friend. I haven’t said none of that shit in a while, because this motherfucker did some shit I didn’t like to somebody I adore, and that’s my coach. Since then we haven’t been cool.
“This dude needs to slow down because he knows better than most who the fuck I am. I’ll be at the gym, Colby, if you’re hearing this because you will. Because he acts like he’s not sensitive, even though he’s the most sensitive dude I’ve ever met. He cries when he reads comments. So, Colby, if you’re hearing this or when you read this, I’ll be at the gym … Let me know.”

UFC 244, where Masvidal faces Diaz, goes down at Madison Square Garden on November second. Meanwhile, Covington’s next fight is uncertain. While most in the MMA community agree that he deserves the next title shot, it is possible that Masvidal leapfrogs him with an impressive performance.
