Rivalries are as common in the world of mixed martial arts. However, the long-standing feud between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington reached epic proportions. Once friends and training partners, these two fighters have become sworn enemies. Masvidal recently declared that their beef will never be settled.
Popular YouTube channel DJVlad recently interviewed Jorge Masvidal. Masvidal didn’t mince words when talking about Covington. ‘Gamebred’ revealed that he still harbored hatred for Colby Covington. Masvidal laid emphasis on the point that they both can’t be present in the same room.
This is the one f****ng person in the sport that I don’t respect. He’s [Colby Covington] is the one person if he walked in that door right now, motherf*****r would die.

Masvidal and Covington’s rivalry is a complicated tale of betrayal, trash talk, and perhaps a touch of jealousy. Their friendship turned into bitter enmity after Masvidal stated that Covington had ripped off his coach after months of training under his tutelage. This started the beef between the two and was further exacerbated by Covington trash-talking Masvidal to sell fights. This rubbed Masvidal the wrong way, and the two once friends became sworn enemies.
Jorge Masvidal’s grudge probably will last a lifetime. This particular feud shows no signs of cooling down anytime soon. These two will go at each other any chance they get. Both of these had a long career in the UFC. But even after so many years, the hatred remained unchanged.

Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington’s beef started a long time ago. Masvidal said their feud escalated to a physical altercation, and Covington’s response was less than heroic. He alleged that Covington ran away from their street fight.

According to reports, Masvidal had assaulted Covington outside a steakhouse. Covington suffered a broken tooth in the scuffle as well. But Masvisal saw the ‘fight’ differently, for which he was later arrested but avoided jail time.
He [Colby Covington] ran away. There’s a 911 call of him calling the cops having the SWAT Force come to his rescue because I beat the f***ing living sh** out of him, allegedly.

Masvidal is known for his no-nonsense attitude. He seemed to relish the idea of his rival fleeing the scene and dialing for backup. However, this is Masvidal’s side of the story. Covington would disagree with this assessment. Fight fans would probably never know what actually happened between the two at the time of the incident.
