Colby Covington rips Jorge Masvidal: Is this the point of no return?
Covington sat down with Helen Yee in one of many interviews and elaborated on his post with Masvidal’s legal wife. He explained that one of the many reasons he wanted to fight Masvidal because he was unfaithful to his wife and kids. There’s no question that the rivalry between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington is going to reach critical mass after this.
The former interim welterweight champion said, “I was actually hanging out with Jorge Masvidal’s legal wife and the mother of his two children. We were just chatting and catching up, taking a trip down memory lane…”
“The only reason I wanted to fight Street Judas Masvidal is because it’s a serious beef. I hate the guy and he hates me…he’s walking around like he’s the king of Miami. He’s a piece of sh*t person. He cheated on his wife, he cheated on his kids, he lies to his kids.”
‘Gamebred’ vs ‘Chaos’ -The rivalry intensifies
He also spoke to Mike Bohn from MMA Junkie and reiterated similar sentiments regarding the BMF’s personal life. Jorge Masvidal prefers to keep his personal life exactly that, personal, and Covington’s comments are sure to get a response from his former best friend.
“I’m exposing him for the fakeness that he is. He talks about being a great father and caring about his kids. He doesn’t care about his kids. I was just talking to his wife yesterday who he’s still legally married to, and we had a great chat. He doesn’t care about his kids, he’s actually putting them through turmoil right now, he’s making their lives miserable. I feel bad he’s stressing out his wife and his kids, he’s a piece of sh*t person.”
