UFC: Jorge Masvidal laughs off Colby Covington’s ‘sex symbol gimmick’ – ‘he doesn’t get girls like that’

‘Gamebred’ continues feud with his former friend, saying he ‘sold his soul for the dollar’

‘I know who he is in real life – he’s not this character he’s trying to be, that he doesn’t have no feelings or nothing. He’s actually quite the opposite’

The beef between former friends Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington doesn’t look like it’s going to be ending any time soon.

In an appearance on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, “Gamebred” took another shot at his fellow American Top Team athlete.

Outspoken former UFC interim welterweight champion Covington has riled some of his teammates at their Florida gym by trash talking Masvidal and Dustin Poirier in recent weeks.

“You’re even skipping the gun before you get to me and Dustin. Why was this guy ever badmouthing Amanda [Nunes]? One of the greatest fighters ever. She’s a chick, you don’t have no respect for yourself,” Masvidal told Helwani in New York.

“Once he started doing this gimmick, the whole hanging out with girls … he doesn’t get girls like that,” Masvidal said. “I can’t see eye to eye with that. I know who he is in real life, he’s not this character he’s trying to be, that he’s a sex symbol, that he doesn’t have no feelings or nothing. He’s actually quite the opposite.
