Jorge Masvidal Issues Warning to Covington
Bad Blood is Still There
Jorge Masvidal issues a warning and says he is not done with Colby Covington. This comes even after they came to a plea agreement in a March 2022 criminal case. Barely two weeks had passed since Masvidal and Covington’s UFC 272 bout, in which “Chaos” prevailed by unanimous decision, before the altercation.
Masvidal was charged with assaulting Covington outside a Miami steakhouse. Monday, “Gamebred” entered a plea agreement to have two felony charges of battery and criminal mischief dropped in exchange for a guilty plea to a misdemeanor battery charge. Although Masvidal is happy that the lawsuit has finally ended, he stated in a recent appearance on “The MMA Hour” that his story with Covington is far from over.

“I don’t know when, but me and Colby are going to see each other at some point. Whether it’s in a f—ing cage or I don’t know where the f—k it’s going to be,” Masvidal said. “We’re going to see each other. For him lying on my name, for him pressing charges. For everything he’s done, we are going to see each other. It’s going to be fun, man. It’s going to be interesting. I’m going to knock the rest of his teeth out. I got to knock two of his fake ass teeth out [in March 2022].
Masvidal Speaks
“[If] we see each other, let’s handle it, bro, like f—king men – and that’s all it is. It’s not like I lose sleep over this guy or cheer for him or hate on him. I don’t give a f—k, really. But whenever I see his ass, he’s got to answer for all those comments he said in the past and for putting me through this case and bulls—t…They took away my guns. I’m in Miami. I have to have my guns – motherf—ers are wild. They took away my guns, bro. They said I couldn’t have my guns while I have an open case.”
In April, Masvidal announced his retirement from the sport after losing a decision to Gilbert Burns, which marked his fourth consecutive defeat. Covington, on the other hand, is set to fight for the welterweight championship against Leon Edwards on December 16th, even though he has not competed since his bout with Masvidal.
