Jorge Masvidal was a relatively unknown fighter up till 2019. However, a stellar run saw him rise from ‘just another fighter’ to one of the biggest names in the UFC. After a long layoff, Jorge returned to the octagon and stopped Darren Till in the second round. Masvidal then knocked out Ben Askren in record-breaking fashion. He followed that up by headlining one of the biggest cards in UFC history against Nate Diaz and winning the ‘BMF’ belt. His spectacular rise in 2019 has been rewarded with multiple opportunities both inside and outside the octagon. JORGE MASVIDAL IS NOW A MOVIE STAR Cassius Corrigan, the director of the upcoming movie Huracan [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7165804/], took to Twitter to share a trailer for the same. The movie is a psychological thriller about an aspiring mixed martial arts fighter who suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder. The clip shows a young man’s struggles as he aims to get to the top of the MMA world while dealing with his inner demons. It also presents Jorge Masvidal as an established fighter who the protagonist eventually ends up fighting. While it is not new for MMA stars to feature in films, it’s definitely a novel experience for ‘Gamebred [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/]’. The Miami native has unlocked a host of opportunities for himself for all the hard work put into the sport. From starting his own liquor brand to gracing the cover of EA Sports UFC 4, it has been a good year for him.

Masvidal is now rumored to make a return to the octagon before the year ends. He will most likely be facing former friend and teammate turned bitter rival, Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/].

<h3><strong>Who is Colby Covington?</strong></h3>
Colby 'Chaos' Covington is one of the most renowned fighters in the UFC. A part of the promotion's Welterweight roster, Covington is a former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion. As of 2024, he is #6 in the UFC welterweight <a href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.
<h3>Colby Covington’s Early Life</h3>
Born on February 22, 1988, in Clovis, California, USA, Colby Covington was raised in a middle-class family by his parents Brad and Noelle Covington. He spent much of his early life in Oregon, where he attended the Thurston High School in Springfield. Taking after his father's passion for wrestling, he started learning the sport and began impressing everyone in his school as a wrestler. He then won the state championship as a senior, and this earned him the attention of college scouts who got him enrolled at Iowa Central Community College.

[caption id="attachment_3456144" align="aligncenter" width="5175"]<img class="wp-image-3456144 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1038084842.jpg" alt="" width="5175" height="3555" /> December 16, 2023, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA: LEON EDWARDS 21-3-0 of Erdington, birmingham, England defeats COLBY COVINGTON 17-3-0 of Miami, Florida USA by a unanimous decision 49-46, 49-46, 49-46 during UFC 296 at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas Las Vegas USA - ZUMAo117 20231216_zsp_o117_058 Copyright: xMikaelxOnax[/caption]

In his college years, Covington then won the NJCAA Championships in 2007 at 165lbs while also being roommates with Jon Jones. After finding major success as a junior college-level athlete, he soon took a transfer to Oregon State University. In his senior college, Covington truly became a chaotic opponent for whoever he faced, becoming a two-time Pac-10 Conference champion in 2010 and 2011 (at 174lbs) and earning the All-American honors.
<h3>Colby Covington’s Girlfriend</h3>
Not much is known about Covington's dating life, but it was rumored that he was in an alleged relationship with UFC fighter Polyana Viana. While the duo did not directly confirm their relationship, it was insinuated by Covington that he had a sexual relationship with the Brazilian fighter. He stated that his being with Viana was part of the reason why he decided not to accept a short-notice fight against Leon Edwards at UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Muhammad.
<h3>Colby Covington’s Net Worth 2024</h3>
Covington is one of the best fighters in the UFC, and it is no secret that once you climb the ranks of the promotion, Dana White does not shy away from paying you a hefty sum for a fight.

He started with a base salary of $8000, however, as he kept on climbing the ranks in the world of MMA, 'Chaos' has now earned himself a base salary of $750,000. Adding to it the sponsorship money and bonus that he earns, it is safe to say that the American fighter has truly earned major success in his life. In fact, his last fight against Leon Edwards earned him around $800k despite being on the losing end.

<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">UFC star Jorge Masvidal established himself as a fan favorite because of his shenanigans both inside and outside the Octagon. The outspoken welterweight burst into the scene after his exploits with a now-defunct Strikeforce. While the American fighter scrapped inside the UFC Octagon for over a decade, the year 2019 stands out for his memorable performances. Not only did he win the inaugural BMF title againstÂ <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nate-diaz/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Nate Diaz</a>, but also bagged a title shot that he cashed in the next year.

<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">In addition, he built a reputation for taking a firm stance and valor.

<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Notably, the 39-year-old's biggest payout came against 'The Nigerian Nightmare' at UFC 251 when he took the fight at a short notice. He <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-how-much-did-kamaru-usman-and-jorge-masvidal-make-in-ufc-251/" target="_self" rel="noopener">earned $500,000 and an undisclosed amount from pay-per-view sales</a>.</p>

Furthermore, his father, Jorge Masvidal Sr., left Cuba at the young age of 14 in a self-made raft and settled in the Virgin Islands.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">To meet his ends, his father resorted to unethical means and, as a result, spent close to 20 years in prison.</p>

<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW"><b>Jorge Masvidal's Career</b></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Jorge Masvidal started his early MMA career with AFC, BodogFIGHT, Strikeforce, and Bellator before transitioning to UFC in 2013.

Jorge Masvidal

Jorge Masvidal: Net Worth 2024, Record, Salary, and Endorsements UFC star Jorge Masvidal established himself as a fan favorite because of his shenanigans both inside and outside the Octagon. The outspoken welterweight burst into the scene after his exploits with a now-defunct Strikeforce. While the American fighter scrapped inside the UFC Octagon for over a decade, the year 2019 stands out for his memorable performances. Not only did he win the inaugural BMF title againstÂ Nate Diaz, but also bagged a title shot that he cashed in the next year. However, he failed in his two successive title shots againstÂ Kamaru UsmanÂ at UFC 251 and UFC 261, respectively. In addition, he built a reputation for taking a firm stance and valor. Currently, in the twilight years of his career, the fighter endeavors for another title opportunity in his last hurrah. As of March 2023, he is ranked #11 in the welterweight division. Jorge Masvidal: Net worth 2024 According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jorge Masvidal&#8217;s net worth in 2023 is $6 million. Also, &#8216;Gamebred&#8217; penned a new contract with the promotion, a couple of days before his grudge fight with friend-turned-forÂ Colby CovingtonÂ in March 2022. NEW YORK, NEW YORK &#8211; NOVEMBER 02: (L-R) Jorge Masvidal is interviewed by Joe Rogan after his victory over Nate Diaz (doctor&#8217;s stoppage) in their welterweight bout for the BMF title during the UFC 244 event at Madison Square Garden on November 02, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images) Notably, the 39-year-old&#8217;s biggest payout came against &#8216;The Nigerian Nightmare&#8217; at UFC 251 when he took the fight at a short notice. He earned $500,000 and an undisclosed amount from pay-per-view sales. Jorge Masvidal: Early Life and Family The prolific knockout artist was born in Miami and spent his childhood there. Also, he carries Cuban ancestry from his father and Peruvian from his mother. While the details of his parents are not well documented, the Miami nativeÂ once revealed his father was a fisherman. Furthermore, his father, Jorge Masvidal Sr., left Cuba at the young age of 14 in a self-made raft and settled in the Virgin Islands. To meet his ends, his father resorted to unethical means and, as a result, spent close to 20 years in prison. Jorge Masvidal&#8217;s Career Jorge Masvidal started his early MMA career with AFC, BodogFIGHT, Strikeforce, and Bellator before transitioning to UFC in 2013. In 2009, the American Top Team product signed a deal with Bellator. While he went 2-1 in the promotion, he was subsequently released. Afterward, he fought a solitary fight under Shark Fights 13 and later shifted bases to Strikeforce in 2011.
