Colby Covington recently had an encounter with a Jorge Masvidal fan during a Miami Heat NBA game. As Covington was walking through the stands, a UFC fan approached him and taunted him, claiming that Miami belonged to Masvidal.
This led to a heated exchange between Covington and the fan, with Covington even flipping him off. The situation escalated further when a member of Covington’s entourage got involved in a verbal confrontation with the fan.
Covington and Masvidal were once training partners and roommates, but their relationship soured when Masvidal accused Covington of not paying a coach what he was owed. Covington denied the allegations and further fueled the feud by making personal attacks on Masvidal, including questioning his abilities as a father.
Despite Covington defeating Masvidal in a previous fight, their rivalry continued. It took a violent turn when Masvidal allegedly attacked Covington outside a restaurant in Miami Beach, resulting in his arrest. However, Masvidal managed to avoid jail time by accepting a plea deal.
The ongoing animosity between Covington and Masvidal has captured the attention of UFC fans. Their confrontations, both inside and outside the octagon, have added fuel to the fire and intensified their rivalry. With their history and personal animosity, it remains to be seen if Covington and Masvidal will ever be able to reconcile or if their feud will continue to escalate.
