Why is Masvidal mad at Covington?
What did Masvidal do Covington
The count of aggravated battery contains language that Masvidal struck Covington with a deadly weapon — his hands or fists — and caused great bodily harm (a brain injury). The criminal mischief charge stipulates that Masvidal caused more than $1,000 damage to Covington's property, in this case a watch.
What is the grudge between Covington and Masvidal
The two men cannot stand each other now. Covington believes Masvidal got jealous of his success and stabbed him in the back. Masvidal says Covington is phony and stiffed Masvidal's coach, Paulino Hernandez, on pay. This fight really wasn't about rankings or titles.
Did Covington and Masvidal used to be friends
This Saturday, in the main event of UFC 272, Colby Covington will battle Jorge Masvidal in a five-round welterweight fight. It hasn't always been this way. They used to be best friends. "We always had this picture-perfect dream," Covington told B/R ahead of UFC 272.
What did Colby say to Jorge
Colby Covington has repeatedly slammed Jorge Masvidal in the media, calling him a bad husband who owes alimony and child support payments and a bad father who lies to his children. At the UFC 272 press conference, Covington even called 'Gamebred' a "deadbeat dad."
Why did Masvidal and Covington stop being friends
A dispute over money owed by Covington to a striking coach that Masvidal introduced him to sparked the flame that burned down their friendship. Covington's antics since then have only fanned the flames.
