Colby Covington is enjoying kicking his former best buddy when he’s down.
If you thought Colby Covington would take sympathy on the plight of his former best friend Jorge Masvidal, you haven’t really been paying attention. For instance, less than 24 hours before the biggest fight of Masvidal’s career, Covington did an interview claiming that Masvidal cheated on his wife and also “cheated” and “lied” to his children.
That being said, it most certainly looks as though the friendship once shared between these men is far beyond repair and the bad blood, much like Covington’s rhetoric, knows no boundaries. With there being no clear path for a fight between Covington and Masvidal any time soon, the public trash talk seems to have nothing to do with fight promotion and is just a case of flat-out disrespect. After Masvidal got knocked out by Kamaru Usman in the UFC 261 main event, that disrespect continued.
