In a recent live stream on Instagram, Colby Covington said that he would embarrass “Journeyman” Jorge Masvidal in a real fight.

Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal share quite a rivalry. Although they are enemies now, the duo used to be friends at a point in time. In fact, it was Masvidal who introduced Covington to ATT – the gym in which both fighters train.

The former best friends had a fall out when ‘Chaos‘ did not pay one the coaches in ATT. Moreover, Covington also adopted the ‘heel’ persona which further strained their relationship. Both athletes completely despise each other to a point where they don’t even respect the rules laid down by the owner of ATT.

“The only place that journeyman Jorge Masvidal would ever fight me is virtually. Cuz you know he is never gonna fight me in the actual octagon. Cuz he’s scared. They got me as a +140 underdog. It’s a joke. I mean, I should be a 10-1 favorite over journeyman Jorge Masvidal. But it’s okay.” Covington said.

“I’m probably gonna be embarrassing journeyman, Street Judas, Jorge Masvidal.” He added.
