Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington, the former friends, are making headlines again for their brawl outside the UFC cage, just two weeks after their biggest fight at UFC 272 in Las Vegas.
Reportedly, the two-time welterweight title challenger Masvidal attacked Covington after the latter had dinner with the Nelk boys at the Papi Steak house at Miami beach.

Consequently, ‘Chaos’ pressed charges against ‘Gamebred’ and he was arrested by the Miami Beach Police in less than 48 hours after launching an alleged attack. However, the Californian received mixed reactions for pressing charges against his nemesis.

While many among the MMA community were choosing sides in the conflict, the former middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa had a piece of savage advice for Masvidal.

Whilst taking a nasty dig at the Floridian UFC fighter, Costa posted a meme and wrote in the caption, “Be strong Masvidal. Dot get the soap on the ground.”
‘The Eraser’ in 2020 lost his first-ever title fight against his nemesis and champion Israel Adesanya. Unfortunately, he also lost his recent bout in October 2021. The Brazilian is currently running on a two-fight skid and is out of action. However, he is always in the news about his unusual Twitter posts.
Apparently, the Brazilian middleweight wasn’t the only fighter who chimed in on the conflict. UFC lightweight legend Khabib Nurmagomedov also expressed his brutally honest thoughts on the brawl.
Khabib Nurmagomedov slammed Colby Covington for his comments on Jorge Masvidal
Although trash talk is one of the elements of mixed martial arts in today’s world, ‘The Eagle’ believes there should be a limit to it. Hence, even though Masvidal allegedly attacked Covington outside the cage, Nurmagomedov slammed the latter for his comments.
Not only that, but ‘The Eagle’ also stated that the UFC welterweight fighters should reject fighting ‘Chaos’ and boycott him. He posted a paragraph explaining why the Californian native should be boycotted.
