Colby Covington tells a different story of what went down between him and Jorge Masvidal at UFC 241.

Recently, Masvidal added some more heat to the rivalry by revealing details of the night Covington “snitched” on him to Dana White. According to “Gamebred,” when he confronted the former interim welterweight champion about some things he said online, Covington immediately spoke to Dana White about it.

However, Covington remembers the scenario a little differently. Here is what he said in an interview with ESPN MMA:

“Jorge was in the fifth row, he’s five row backs. I’m the champion at the time, so I’m first row, and I’m there to support my boy DC, the “Natty Goat”. You know, Daniel Cormier is the legend, the “Natty Goat.” I call him the “Natty Goat” for a reason. So, I’m there to support him in his fight versus Stipe Miocic, and I just hear rumbling behind me and people are shuffling, and I’m like what the [MUTED]. What’s going on back there? And then I see Jorge, and I’m like ‘Yo, what’s up man? What are you doing, dude?’ ‘Oh, I’m gonna [MUTED] you up for all the things you said. Let’s go outside. Let’s go, dude.’

There are many differences in their stories. For starters, Masvidal claims he tapped Covington on the shoulder and asked him to talk outside. But what happened next is where the two stories diverge wildly.

“And I’m like ‘Dude, you really want to go do this outside Jorge, I’m gonna dump you on your head. You’re not gonna have the UFC to pay your medical bills, so you really want to do this?’ And he’s just running his mouth from like the 4th of 5th row back. I’m in the front row, and I’m just like ‘Dude, act like a professional.’

“And that’s the whole thing, we’re at a UFC event, man, when have I ever laid hands on someone when I can beat up anybody in the crowd, any of the fighters—none of them can touch me. I’m the best fighter in the entire world. But I don’t do it ’cause I’m a professional. I handle my business in the cage. That’s where I do my business, in the UFC Octagon,” Covington continued.

Through Masvidal’s eyes, Covington ran and told Dana White after their interaction. However, Covington denies the entire thing.

Yes, he spoke to Dana White, but it was not to “snitch.” He says it was because White approached him about the ordeal.

“So Dana came over to me, he’s like ‘I don’t want any stuff messing up this event tonight. We need this fight to go through, and we don’t need anything to ruin it in the crowd.’ And he goes and tells Jorge the same exact thing. ‘Jorge, chill out, dude. You’re not gonna fight him, dude. You’re not gonna fight in the streets. You guys are professional cage fighters. You guys wanna fight, you can settle it in the Octagon.’”

A constant in their story is that Dana White did squash any potential scuffle, making it very clear to not fight at the event.

Obviously, nothing went down that night. But regardless of who is telling the truth, they will settle their conflict legally and in front of the entire world this Saturday, March 5.

The grudge between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington gets deeper as Masvidal recalls the night his opponent allegedly snitched on him at a UFC event.

Ahead of UFC 272, Masvidal and Covington continue to bring up old memories to fuel their rivalry. Masvidal denies their former friendship and has revealed alleged details of their past that place Covington under a negative spotlight.

The BMF champion highly anticipates putting an end to Covington’s confidence this Saturday, March 5. Every week, he reminds UFC fans that he will destroy Covington, and there has been a huge lead-up as to why.

Recently, in an interview with ESPN, Masvidal went into detail about a confrontation that took place on the night of UFC 241.

“I was at (UFC 241), and guess who I see there? Colby. And I haven’t seen him in months because he’s been traveling, I’ve been at the gym, I’ve been in and out of the gym, so we weren’t really clicking. So I finally see him and he just dropped (an) interview. And I just tapped him on the shoulder and he’s immediately nervous. Actually, this is on video. They have this on video. And I asked him, ‘Oh, what’s all that [MUTED] you’ve been talking? But we’re both men, man. You got my phone number. Why don’t we go outside and just talk like men? And he freaked out. He was like, “No, bro, you’re trying to fight, bro?! You’re so unprofessional, bro! We’re grown-ass men! What are you doing?! What’s wrong with you?!’”

Masvidal/Covington Face-Off Takes A Sudden Turn

That night, Masvidal says his intentions were to speak to Covington about certain posts on social media that pertained to him. Before long, the UFC boss got involved.

“I’m like, ‘Let’s go outside and just talk, leave everybody here. Just go outside and talk.’ He’s like, ‘No, we’ll talk another day,’ freakin’ out like his usual self. I go back to my seat. I see him waving down Dana White. And I go, “Nah, there’s no way.’

“You can ask Dana White this…waves down Dana White and tells Dana White that I’m trying to fight him right there on sight. But this guy’s talking all this [MUTED] on the internet, that he’s a thug. Dana White’ll come out and tell you. Like, ‘Man, Masvidal was ready to go. This guy wanted no part of it,’” Masvidal continued.

“Dana White calls me over, he’s like, ‘Man, you trying to hand out three-pieces and a soda, Masvidal?! <Dana White laugh> No, but seriously, don’t [MUTED] fight here at the event.’ I’m like, ‘Bro, all I wanted to do was talk to the guy outside, bro. Now, he’s made it a problem by [MUTED] going to you…(he’s) snitching on me, you know?”

It goes without saying, but Masvidal is not amused by fighters disrespecting him. For instance, Nate Diaz is also on his list of future beatdowns for talking trash about him on the internet.

Whether snitching is worse than trash talk or not, Masvidal was not pleased by Covington’s actions.

UFC 272 is just a few days away, and the potential for this to be the most hate-fueled match of the year keeps growing.

Masvidal appears to have a plethora of reasons for his dislike toward Covington and will use every bit of it to motivate his punches in the cage.

Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington had a brief confrontation at UFC 241 last year, which marked the beginning of the former friends’ falling out with one another.

The UFC had to separate them and switch up their seats. Nobody knew what Masvidal and Covington had said to one another during their confrontation in California. However, Masvidal recently did a special interview with Submission Radio, and revealed exactly what happened, and why UFC president Dana White had to come speak with him.

“Dana definitely did have a talk with me. I mean, (Tyron) Woodley was a witness to it, my manager was a witness to it,” Masvidal said. “There was rumors. Max Holloway was right next to me. And I see Colby there, and he’s been talking shit already for months online about me, about teammates. I go, hey, let’s talk like men, address me like a man. Mind you, he had just said that he called me and told me, hey, do a flying knee for the Ben Askren fight.

“Then when we start fighting he said we haven’t talked in two years. The guy’s just a habitual liar, and I’d love to just put it out there now. So, he hasn’t talked to me in about a year and a half, though he’s telling everyone he just talked to me to give that Ben Askren thing, and then you’re saying all this stupid shit. I go, hey, let me talk to you, man. He goes, ‘man, be a professional’, and he turns around.

“I go, yo, let me fucking talk to you, stop talking shit online, I can’t hear nothing, let’s go outside and talk. And he said, that’s cool bro, I’m a fucking pro, I’m not going to be doing that, and he just kind of turned his back and starts kind of walking away, like, gets a little further for me. I said, alright, whatever. Before I know it, Dana White’s calling me over here trying to be funny – ‘Masvidal, I don’t need you giving out no three pieces and a soda’.

“I go, fuck, what’re you talking about, man? I’m just here watching the fights, what are you talking about? He goes, ‘I got Colby over here telling me you’re trying to fuck him up, don’t do nothing’. Alright, fucking snitch.”

Covington would go on to challenge Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight title at UFC 245, losing a fifth-round TKO to “The Nigerian Nightmare” after having his jaw broken. Masvidal just wrapped up a tremendous 2019, and is looking to kick-off 2020 with a bang.

Anthony Pettis Suing USADA Over Hand Injury Before UFC 241

Anthony Pettis reveals that he was fighting “compromised” against Nate Diaz at UFC 241.

Anthony Pettis reveals that he was fighting “compromised” against Nate Diaz at UFC 241.

Pettis spoke on “The Ariel Helwani MMA Show” this week, and revealed he’s suing the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) after suffering a cut during their testing process before fighting Diaz. USADA requested a second test sample from him before the fight after his first was too diluted, due to recent rehydration. Pettis waited over an hour to provide the second sample, and was cut by the edge of the bottle. “Showtime” said he had to fight like an “amateur” against Diaz. (H/T MMA Fighting)

”I had to fight compromised,” Pettis said. “I gave USADA a chance to make it right, but right now, we’re going through the court. I’ve got to sue them.”

“Showtime” has hired anti-doping attorney Howard Jacobs to represent him, as he has represented the likes of Jon Jones and Brock Lesnar in the past. Pettis’ manager, Abe Kawa, has also revealed that both the UFC and bottle manufacturers are being named in the suit. The decision to sue USADA came after representatives allegedly stopped responding to his team. Both USADA and California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) head Andy Foster have declined comment.

Pettis went on to lose to Diaz via unanimous decision, despite pleas from his longtime coach, Duke Roufus, not to go through with the fight.

”I wish he wouldn’t have fought, because it showed in his performance, unfortunately,” Roufus said. “Here’s the thing, when it happened, it affects you making a fist and also affects you grappling, because you need your thumb to grab things.”
