Colby Covington has finally spoken out after his UFC 272 win over Jorge Masvidal. The Oregon native was staying away from the media but made a big return recently and he did not disappoint.
The UFC welterweight addressed the claims from Jorge Masvidal that he cheated during their main event bout. Colby Covington couldn't help but laugh at the claims.
“I mean, it’s over for me, but what’s the guy gonna do? He’s all talk,” UFC welterweight Covington told Submission Radio. “I mean, I was supposed to be in critical condition. This is the same guy that said, oh, I’m gonna leave Colby in critical condition on Monday, he might not make it. So, the only thing in critical condition is Jorge Masvidal’s career. It might not make it, guys. It’s officially finished. We put the feather in the cap. So, I don’t buy anything that guy says.
“He’s full of shit, he’s full of lies, and people believe what I say now because I speak truth and I speak honestly. Like, yeah, sometimes it’s brutally honest, sometimes it hurts feelings. Oh, he can go in there to beat people up and send them to the hospital, but it’s ok, don’t say some mean words, don’t be a meanie head. But this guy, no one takes this guy serious anymore. If you take that guy serious anymore, then you’re just as uneducated as him and you probably didn’t get a middle school degree, just like him Jorge Masvidal.”
UFC 272 doesn't seem like it has settled the beef between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. The two have continued to go back and forth and there are no signs of it slowing down.
