Jorge Masvidal famously assaulted Colby Covington outside of a restaurant in Miami, a few weeks ago. Everyone seemingly reacted but UFC president Dana White had yet to make a comment on what happened.
Dana White did not disappoint as he talked about the two fighters getting into it outside of the cage. The UFC president had strong words for both Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal.
“First of all, in no way shape or form do I ever condone violence and my guys fighting each other in the streets or shit like that,” UFC president White said, on The Pat McAfee Show. “On the flip side, when you’re dealing with a guy like Jorge Masvidal and you start talking about his family, all these fighters listen, say what you want to say about me, you hate me, you think I’m ugly, you think I’m stupid – whatever my thing is. When you start talking about people’s families, it goes to a whole other level, man.”
The UFC president wasn't surprised considering the history between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. The two were very good friends before things quickly went south and led to UFC 272.
“If you’re talking about people’s families and you’re walking out of a restaurant, you better be ready for a guy like Jorge Masvidal to run up on you,” White said. “I mean, is anybody shocked? He talked shit about his kids and his wife. Do you think he’s not going to do that? Of course he’s going to do that.”
“… You’ve got to understand these guys were actually friends and training partners, so they know intimate details about each other, about each other’s lives, about each other’s families. There is something that’s called fucking man code. A lot of these young, goofy fucking dudes these days don’t know about it – but they need to learn about it.”
