Jorge Masvidal mentioned in an interview that it was common for Colby Covington to be injured during fights. Yet, Covington stated that the news about the broken jaw was untrue and has left us clueless regarding his mysterious disappearance.
In his most recent jab targetted towards Colby, Masvidal said in an interview, “He’ll be with secret service and shout shi*t when he’s at a safe distance. Nothing can really happen because he’s always with security. He has even stopped frequenting places he used to before because he heard rumors that I was gonna be there. The guy’s a coward man.”
What Would Happen If Jorge Masvidal and Colby End Up in a Matchup?
Responding to whether he wants to fight Colby, Masvidal responded saying that there is not a lot of money in beating “The guy who got his jaw broken by the guy I’m about to baptize”. The reason he gave was that Colby hasn’t really won a fight recently.
