Covington lived on Masvidal’s couch for a year and both are former training partners as well. But because of certain reasons, their friendship fell off. They both blame each other for it and will soon have the opportunity to settle the issue. Masvidal and Covington will headline UFC 272, and it is a fight fans are excited about.

However, there is still time left for the fight, but ‘Chaos‘ is very confident going into the fight. He believes he will stop his old friend and recently trolled Masvidal. He responded to a popular meme and in the comments wrote, “Bank on it. #StreetJudasADeadManWalking.”
