April 2024 · 3 minute read

Former UFC interim champion Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington has had one of the worst fallouts with fellow UFC welterweight and former BMF champion Jorge Masvidal. The two once had a very strong bond with each other, even going so far as to call themselves brothers and best friends. However, things started to change after Covington put on a persona to save his career.

‘Chaos’ had managed to save his career in the UFC; however, he destroyed his relationship with Masvidal and his former gym members at the American Top Team. This led to the two forming a personal hatred towards each other, eventually leading them to step inside the octagon. Covington won the fight inside the Octagon; however, Masvidal managed to settle the score outside a steakhouse in Miami after their fight inside the Octagon. Here’s what Covington had to say about the run-in with Masvidal.

Colby Covington unravels beef with Jorge Masvidal

In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Colby Covington blasted Jorge Masvidal for his supposed “sucker punch” on Covington. Covington revealed the reason for Masvidal’s cheap shot was due to his inability to deal with the truth.

The 35-year-old went personal and painted the narrative that Masvidal was an absent father. He stated, “He couldn’t take the truth. He couldn’t handle the truth that you know that’s the extent that I took it to. I just said he was a deadbeat dad because he wasn’t paying his child support.”

“And he wasn’t paying child support, cut off his communications with his kids, and then, you know he didn’t like that I said the truth about him so he had to sucker punch me in the back of the head when I walked out of a restaurant,” said Covington as he went on to berate Masvidal with more personal accusations.

However, Jorge Masvidal always seems to dedicate his fights to his children in the Octagon interviews. So it won’t be surprising to see Covington’s allegations turn out to be false. With this feud seemingly on the back burner for the moment, Covington seems to have found a new target in a new welterweight prospect.

Covington takes personal shots at Ian Garry

Colby Covington put Ian Garry on blast in the same interview. ‘The Future’ had come under fire by fight fans and fighters after his relationship details went public. Covington seems to be lining up a fight against the young Irishman as his next opponent as he is holding nothing back from commenting on Machado Garry’s relationship with his wife.

Covington went on to call Ian Garry a “C*ck” and his wife a “vile lady”. The Clovis native believes that Ian Garry would want to settle the score with him inside the octagon. However, if this keeps up, Covington might have more on his plate than he could chew.

Do you believe Covington is taking it too far by using Ian Garry’s family as a source to get the fight against the Irishman? Or do you believe that everything is fair when it comes to the fight business? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
