Two outstanding rivals, ESPN was able to conduct a joint interview.
Tonight’s event, which will be headlined by Islam Makhachev and Bobby Green, will be followed on Friday by Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington fighting in the main event of The Ultimate Fighter Finale.
We should not be surprised by such actions, considering that this is a war that everyone has been anticipating for some time now. They are also well aware of it on ESPN, where Stephen A. Smith had Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal on at the same time for an interview.
Naturally, squabbles and harsh words were not overlooked, but they had hoped for it at ESPN. Jorge Masvidal was the first to address the reasons for the animosity that exists between them, and he was extremely direct and cutting.
” It all started when this shit didn’t pay $ 12,500 to my coach who has been coaching him all his career. Then when he finally had a chance to get his money back, he didn’t do it. I paid the coach out of my own pocket and from that moment on I knew I would fuck him (Colby) one day. Watch him laugh, he can’t keep a serious face because everyone from the American Top Team knows that’s why he was kicked out. He will soon be kicked out of the hall he moved to, too, because he doesn’t pay his bills and is choking on debts because of the loans he took from guys from South Florida, because of his poker addiction. You know what will happen to you if you don’t return that money. Keep laughing little bitch. I can’t wait to break those artificial teeth. He has nothing to say because she is a bankrupt bitch. ”, Was Masvidal’s presentation, and then it was Colby’s turn.
” It’s fake news Stephen, fake news. Everything Jorge says is a lie. Don’t believe everything he says, he just talks, and deeds are missing. You can ask its owner Dan Lambert, he actually knows how much I earned. That night when I received the check, they paid me half of what was promised. The commission said that I earned twice as much as I said, and I earned half as much, ” Colby said.
It didn’t take long for @StephenASmith to learn that the bad blood between @GamebredFighter and @ColbyCovMMA is real 🤬 @espnmma

Covington obviously wanted to explain why he did not pay Masvidal’s coach after one of his fights, and the reason for that lies in the fact that his fee was twice less than promised. Who is telling the truth in the whole story is difficult to determine with one hundred percent certainty. However, considering that Colby Covington is a man with countless “faces” and split personalities and a person who decided to cross all boundaries just to sell his matches better, it’s hard to take his side in this whole story. By the way, this is only a part of the interview in which both fighters were guests, and the complete recording will be released to the public on Tuesday. The information says that there were a handful of tensions and we will certainly not miss it.
