UFC 272 Preview
Two fighters who know each other will take to the octagon on Saturday with welterweights Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal going at it. The two were once great friends and even lived together. However, a feud based around a financial dispute with striking coach Paulino Hernandez has fueled their anger towards each other.
“At the time, we shared a few things in common,” Masvidal says. “I let him stay with me for about nine months. He broke his hand, so he didn’t even pay. He was washing dishes and folding clothes. I f—— fed him, too. He lived under my roof, but the second he had the chance to stab me in the back over a couple pieces of silver, he did.
“Now he’s the king of Miami? He’s born and raised in Oregon. I know I’m not everybody’s cup of tea, but Colby Covington is no one’s cup of tea.”
Masvidal has lost two straight fights after a three-fight win streak — both of those coming to champ Kamaru Usman. Masvidal is firmly looking for the 17th KO of his career against Covington.
“The headline Sunday morning is going to be Jorge Masvidal wins and sends Colby Covington to his funeral,” Masvidal told DAZN News. “I’m going to knock him unconscious and send him off on a stretcher.”
As for his future, the fight is big for Masvidal, who is currently No. 6 in the welterweight rankings.
“It’ll put me as the No. 1 contender,” Masvidal said at media day on Wednesday. “I’ll be competing for the title shortly after, so that’s definitely a plus. But as far as having beaten great fighters and stuff, I won’t even talk to my grandkids about this guy. It’ll just be some personal stuff, ‘Yeah, I beat this guy up,’ and some dude I never really liked, and that’s it.”
