Colby Covington is an interesting fighter who never fails to entertain fight fans around the world with his trash talk. Needless to say, Covington once again had some words for his former friend turned arch-nemesis Jorge Masvidal. In an interview given to Submission Radio, Covington slammed Masvidal who was recently spotted training alongside YouTuber turned professional boxer, Jake Paul.
Colby Covington poked fun at Masvial who has not stepped inside the Octagon ever since dropping a unanimous decision loss to Kamaru Usman back at UFC 251. Additionally, Masvidal stepped in on short notice against Usman back in August. Needless to say, while Masvidal is eyeing a potential rematch against Usman, Covington has expressed his interest in fighting Gamebred on multiple occasions.
“Jorge Masvidal has been sitting on the sidelines. He is doing his thing there, who knows what he is doing. He is training Jake Paul. We all saw how well it worked out for Tyron Woodley when Jorge Masvidal was trying to train him. We can only imagine what Jake Paul is going to look like now that Jorge Masvidal is training him for the Ben Askren fight.”
