Former UFC welterweight title contender Jorge Masvidal issued a stark warning to former friend turned bitter enemy Colby Covington.
On Monday, ‘Gamebred’ pled guilty to a charge of misdemeanor battery stemming from a March 2022 altercation with Covington outside of a Miami restaurant. The incident occurred a few short weeks removed from their UFC 272 grudge match that saw ‘Chaos’ walk away with a decisive unanimous decision.
Masvidal reportedly sneak-attacked Covington after learning of his location, fracturing the welterweight contender’s tooth in the process.
In the end, Masvidal was sentenced to time served and will be required to pay court fees.
Shortly after the ruling, ‘Gamebred’ appeared on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to offer his take on the incident.
“This little b*tch Colby was trying to hit me for three felonies and a misdemeanor after he had declared numerous times that if he had seen me in the street, he was literally gonna kill me,” Masvidal said. “He said the weirdest f*cking sh*t. I couldn’t talk about this before, but now I can. He also said that I had attacked him with four or five other individuals. Where the f*ck were all these co-defendants? They would have been on trial as well. You can’t just attack people with a mob of people. That would have been a hate crime on his flakey a**.
“So where the f*ck are the rest of the people? Again, he’s a f*cking liar. It was just me and him. I f*cking confronted him after he had just dropped that sh*t and what did he do? He hid and called the f*cking cops. Calling 911, ‘I’m in fear for my life. This guy’s trying to kick my a**.’ You f*cking p*ssy a** b*tch. Eight months I’ve been dealing with this sh*t. All types of money spent. All types of bullish*t.”

Jorge Masvidal Believes He’ll See Colby Covington Again
While we can’t see the UFC sending out an invite for Masvidal and Covington to attend the same event anytime soon, ‘Gamebred’ believes it’s just a matter of time before the two run into one another.
“I don’t know when, but me and Colby are gonna see each other at some point, whether it’s in a f*cking cage or I don’t know where the f*ck it’s gonna be, but we’re gonna see each other,” Masvidal continued. “For him lying on my name, for him pressing charges… For everything he’s f*cking done, we are going to see each other and it’s gonna be fun, man. It’s gonna be interesting.
“I’m gonna knock the rest of his f*cking teeth out.”
