“You’ve Got to Have That Bad Blood” – Daniel Cormier Says Jorge Masvidal Should Opt For the TUF Against Colby Covington

A new season of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ is ready to return in 2022. The reality show produced by UFC gives new MMA fighters the chance to show their talent and skills to the world. With a new season to air next year, there is a tremendous demand for UFC fighters Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal to coach the fighters for the show.

Covington and Masvidal have had bad blood in the past. Therefore, their rivalry could be a strong point for the show and the fighters they coach.

Interestingly, both the fighters used to be on great terms earlier and were good friends. However, their rivalry started when UFC was unable to make Covington an offer for the title fight. Instead, they quickly looked at Masvidal. Thus, Covington fired at Masvidal on Twitter and their friendship came to an end.
