Jorge Masvidal will fight Kamaru Usman this weekend at UFC 261 in a rematch for the undisputed welterweight gold. Ahead of this fight, Masvidal’s former best friend and training partner, Colby Covington, took to social media to troll ‘Gamebred’. ‘Chaos’ posted a picture of him alongside who he claimed was Masvidal’s wife.
“Out here playing games with Mrs. Masvidal 🎮 Great catching up with you Maritza!” Covington wrote in his recent post.

However, per the tag in the image, the lady present in the photo was not Iman Kawa, who is widely known as Masvidal’s wife. The Miami native keeps his personal life private and doesn’t reveal things about the same in public.
In a chat with The Schmo, ‘Chaos’ claimed that Maritza is the mother of Jorge’s children, not Iman Kawa. Covington trashed the media for saying Kawa is Masvidal’s wife. He said she is actually the sister of Masvidal’s managers.
Covington claimed Maritza is actually legally married to Masvidal and has two kids with him, but surprisingly no information about her is available on the internet.
