Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington were once teammates at ATT. Covington apparently developed a habit of trash-talking his own teammates, which didn’t go down too well with owner Dan Lambert. During his time at ATT, Colby Covington had feuds with the likes of Dustin Poirier, Masvidal and even Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
This prompted Lambert to make a rule which stated that no member of the gym would insult their teammates in public unless they signed a contract to fight each other. Covington broke this rule, and soon after, he left the gym. ‘Chaos’ then found a new home at the MMA Masters gym in Miami.
Colby Covington recently went to war with Kamaru Usman in a rematch at UFC 268. Colby overcame sheer adversity in the second round to stay in the hunt and drive the champ to the limit. Although he ended up second best, losing via unanimous decision, Covington definitely earned respect from fans and Usman himself.
Colby Covington wants to be the man who ends Jorge Masvidal’s UFC career
Following the fight, Colby Covington said he wasn’t ready to give up on the title just yet. He plans to earn himself another crack at the title by beating former teammate Jorge Masvidal. He also said he’d like to be the fighter who ends the Florida native’s UFC career.
