The 38-year-old sat down with Kim Congdon and, when asked about his opinion on Trump’s favorite fighter, had an amusing response. He mentioned he led the race, and it was evident by the number of appearances Trump made for his fights.
He said, “If, well, somebody’s saying, I’m cool with someone. Sounds cool. But he went to two of so-and-so’s fights, and he hasn’t gone to none of yours. Shut your b*tch as* up, Colby. He’s been to two of my fights. He has never been to your fights. You f*cking coward b*tch.”
Following this, Masvidal mentioned that Covington had filed three felony charges against him., weeks after their fight at UFC 272. Their animosity exploded and reached a tipping point when they clashed in front of a restaurant. Masvidal stated, “Donald Trump doesn’t like snitches and b*tches, you know. We’re both pro fighters, and he has charges out on me right now. So I guess no nobody likes that guy.”
In addition, the Miami native has received a token of thanks from the business mogul for helping him out. Trump once again expressed his gratitude for the “tough cookie” Masvidal when he forgot about the latter’s retirement. How are they bonded beyond the steel cage?

Masvidal continued, “You think Trump’s gonna pick him over me? Trump never mentioned Colby in an interview for doing sh*t for him. Yet numerous times Trump has said, ‘Thank You, Jorge, for helping me out with Florida’, which I don’t feel I helped him. I just voiced my opinion.”
Notably, when Trump ran for the presidency, Masvidal unequivocally supported him. When the results came, the American businessperson performed well in Florida, partly due to the UFC star’s support. Hence, the former UFC fighter registered himself in Trump’s good books and also became his favorite fighter.
