Jorge Masvidal has envisioned a blood curdling headline following his UFC 272 grudge match against fellow welterweight Colby Covington

There’s something heart wrenching about the friends to enemies cliché that has captivated storytellers and audiences alike. The UFC has seen its fair share of training partners and friends on crossroads while working towards the same goal, but none of that comes close to the fascinating story of Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvidal.

UFC’s third PPV of 2022 will feature a welterweight clash between estranged friends, Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. The bona fide bad blood between the two has presented the UFC with one of the most compelling storylines of all time.

In an interview with Marc Raimondi of ESPN, Jorge Masvidal was asked about what the news headline would be like, post-Masvidal‘s fight with Covington.

Masvidal gave a chilling response to it, stating, “Colby in critical condition, might not fully make it.”

It is intelligible by now that both fighters have vicious intentions when they finally get to lay their hands on each other at UFC 272 and settle this dispute once and forever.

“Piece of sh*t”, “Fake news” – Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal have a heated exchange

Tensions have started to flare, as the UFC 272 grudge match between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington draws near.

The pair set down with Stephen A.Smith as part of the media promotions for UFC 272, and the two minutes promo clip of the interview was above and beyond anything the fans expected from the grudge match. The duo chirped back at each other constantly, throwing allegations and hurling insults.

Masvidal first spoke about how Covington betrayed his team and his coaches by saying, “It first started out with this piece of st not paying my coach $12,500 for a fight that my coach coached him his whole fg career. Then when he had the chance to finally pay back the $12,500 he didn’t. So, I went out there and paid my coach out of my own pocket so since then it was like I’m going to fk him up at some point. Look at him smiling, he can’t even keep a straight face yet everyone at American Top Team knows that’s why he got kicked out, soon to be kicked out of this gym because you don’t pay your bills, and your drowning in debt from all the loan sharks that you owe money in South Florida from poker. You know what is going to happen to you if you don’t pay that money. Keep smiling, little bh I can’t wait to break those fake teeth. He ain’t got st to say, he’s a broke b*h.

Colby responded to that and said, “It’s fake news, Stephen it’s fake news. Anything Jorge Masvidal says is a lie. You can’t believe anything he says, he’s all talk no walk. Yeah, he’s getting paid a lot of money like Dak Prescott for the Cowboys but he ain’t doing anything. He ain’t doing anything. Stephen A., you can ask his owner, his master Dan Lambert actually knows how much I got paid. That night I got that paycheck, I got paid half of what they said, the commission said I made doubled what they said, I got half that.”
