It's no surprise that Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal are bringing violent intentions to their bout at UFC 272. The two famously don't like each other and plan on ending things on a brutal note.

Colby Covington is hoping to make Jorge Masvidal suffer and quit in the main event of UFC 272. The welterweight contender claims he truly wants to hurt his former friend.

“I see a lot of pain,” UFC welterweight, Covington told TMZ. “I’m going to inflict so much pain on Jorge Masvidal. He’s not going to be the same person ever again. He keeps talking about a baptism. There’s not going to be a baptism. It’s going to be a funeral. It’s Jorge Masvidal’s career-ending funeral. It’s going to be violent, and I’m not going to finish it quick.

“I could easily finish it quick because I’d do it all the time behind closed doors when we used to train. But this one, I’m going to drag it out. I’m going to make him suffer and it’ll probably be the first time in UFC history you see a guy in a main event just verbally tap out and say he can’t take no more of a beating.”

Colby Covington finds extra motivation at UFC 272 from the accusations Jorge Masvidal has hurled his way. The Miami-based fighter claims that Covington never paid one of his coaches.

“To hold this kid accountable for all the reckless words he said to the media – he’s been lying to everybody the whole time,” Covington said ahead of UFC 272. “I just can’t wait to expose him in front of the world next Saturday night.

“This is a blood feud. This goes back to a brotherhood. We were eight years together – every single day, side-by-side, couldn’t leave each other, best friends, and now we’re the biggest, bitter enemies. He’s the one person on earth that I don’t give a shit. Anytime I see him, I want to send that guy straight to hell, and luckily I get to do it in the UFC octagon and it’s going to be bad. I’m going to make him pay. I’m going to make him suffer for just backstabbing me and turning his back and trying to run this fake narrative to the media.”
