Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvidal seems to be the logical next fight to make in the Welterweight division, however according Covington’s comments the fight isn’t close to being done and he blames Masvidal for it.
Speaking to Submission Radio Covington said “I’m good to go on my end, I’m ready to go. I gave them my verbal (agreement), and I’m a man of my word. I’m gonna show up and do what I do best, that’s win and fight hard, (and) put on a show for the fans around the world.”
“Getting Jorge ‘Street Judas’ Masvidal on board is a whole other story, the guy, I mean, he’s got no options, and he thinks he’s gonna fight Conor (McGregor), he wants the easy fight with the ‘soy boy’ Nate Diaz.” Covington stated. “The guy is desperate right now. You don’t want to fight the No. 1 guy in the world? I’m the No. 1 guy in the world.”
