The feud continues with Colby Covington and the world, or in this case, Jorge Masvidal and Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
The former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion seemed to be turning a new leaf when he apologized to Dustin Poirier for his past comments; however, Covington still holds a grudge towards his other two American Top Team members.
During his recent interview with Submission Radio earlier this week, the California native didn’t hold back on his feelings on Jorge “Journeyman” Masvidal, and even challenged the BMF title holder to a fight inside of the octagon (Transcript courtesy of mmafighting.com):
“What’s my message to Jorge ‘Journeyman’ Jorge Masvidal a.k.a. ‘Street Judas,’ the guy who tried to stab me in the back for money and business?” Covington said on Submission Radio. “You got your ass-whooping waiting, buddy. You got your 10 seconds of fame. They’re up. You hit lightning in a bottle. But let’s look at your record, buddy. You got double digit losses on your record. You’re a 50/50 average mediocre fighter. Stop acting like you’re so great, you ain’t great. You know what happened when we used to train for the last eight, nine years. There’s never been one second where you have ever beat me.
“So, if you want to get embarrassed in front of the world, let’s do it, because Jorge keeps talking about wanting to fight in the streets. It’s like, dude, if we fight in the streets who’s going to pay your medical bills, Jorge? At least if we fight in the UFC octagon I’m gonna break your jaw, I’m gonna rearrange your face, and the UFC will cover your medical bills. So, let’s leave our business in the octagon. But he doesn’t want to fight me in the octagon, he knows better than that.”
In terms of Jedrzejczyk, there’s no love lost between the two. The former Women’s Strawweight Champion recently blasted Covington for his antics outside the ring, labeling him a “prick” and “not a real man” on TMZ Sports recently.
Covington fired back, most notably after Jedrzejczyk’s loss to Zhang Weili at UFC 248, with the 32-year-old being happy to see his teammate getting humbled by the UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion. Covington also didn’t hold back on his hate for the UFC star:
“And as far as Joanna Jedrzejczyk, you know, his little sidepiece, that they got a little fling going on right now, I could give a f*ck less about her,” Covington said. “She’s washed-up, nobody cares about her. She used to be ‘the boogiewoman,’ now she’s ‘the boobie woman.’
“Look at her face. She got her face rearranged, and I called it. In the beginning of the week, the week before her fight, I put a video saying, hey guys, Joanna wants an apology from me, so here I am for my apology. Joanna, I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you had to get your face rearranged and everybody’s going to get rich at mybookie.ag. And that’s exactly what happened, I got rich. I made a Rolex off of Joanna Jedrzejczyk’s bitch ass.”
At the moment, Covington doesn’t have any fights planned for any upcoming events. It should be very interesting to see what happens following the Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman Welterweight title fight in July.
