Ahead of their much-awaited grudge match at UFC 272, Jorge ‘Gamebred’ Masvidal sends an alarming message to Colby Covington
The animosity between UFC welterweights Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington seems to be intensifying by the minute. A classic story of friends turned foes has gripped the MMA audience, while the rivalry is shaping up to be the next big one since Conor Mcgregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
A screenwriter couldn’t script a better story if given the opportunity. Such is the nature of the beef between the former teammates. Issuing a fresh challenge, Jorge Masvidal recently tweeted out a video reminding Colby Covington how he was banned from American Top Team, his old gym. He also warned ‘Chaos’ that the UFC would probably cut him with a loss having gone through a similar situation in his career before.
He said, “At the home, the temple, home to some real motherfu***rs. Left and right, I’m not the only one here that’s a bad motherf**, any bad motherfuckers here. But not your bit** ass that got kicked out from here,” Masvidal said in a Twitter video. “Damn, man, I know it hurts every time you see that shit. I know what a sensitive bit*h you are and how you read comments and cry. I can’t imagine every time you see this symbol, it just hurts, man. Keep talking shit though. I can’t wait. March 5th is getting closer, so is this knee to your temple.
He goes on to add, “Not only am I going to break your face in a very violent way but the UFC is going to see you’re such a liability that they’re gonna kick you out, bro,” Masvidal continued. “Then it’s going to be back to Indian reservations where you can fight, maybe you can co-main event or some shit like that because I don’t even think you can main event after I’m done with you, in any show. I’m gonna f*ck you up, man. Keep talking that shit though. March 5th can’t come close enough. See you soon, bit**. Never forget.”
