UFC: Jorge Masvidal says Colby Covington’s trash talk has ‘consequences’ as he opens up on feud
- ‘Gamebred’ claims he was ‘cool’ with Covington ‘until he ripped off our coach’
- ‘I’ll walk in the gym, take a wild guess who leaves right away through the back door?’
Jorge Masvidal has hit back at Colby Covington following criticism from his fellow American Top Team athlete and former friend.
Former UFC interim welterweight champion Covington has been trash talking “Gamebred” for the past few weeks.
“He ripped off my coach, that was his coach. We were with him until his title fight [against Rafael Dos Anjos in June 2018],” Masvidal told the Dan Le Batard Show. “After he won the title, he owed [our coach] a certain amount of money, didn’t pay him.
“I said if you don’t pay him I’m going to f*** you up. My coach got in between it, it doesn’t have to be like this, let it slide, since then, I ain’t talked to the dude.
“It’s been about a year and some change. It is what it is. All these words they do have consequences with me because this guy used to sleep on my couch, used to eat off me cause I was the one with the sponsors. He was just still relatively an amateur and I was helping this guy out. It hurts that he would do that in a way just for a like on Facebook, just for a retweet on Twitter, he’s doing that, to get you and me talking about him.”
