Colby Covington seems confident that he can defeat Jorge Masvidal once again if given the chance.

In a recent interview with MMA Fighting's Mike Heck, Covington was asked if he would be willing to fight 'Gamebred' for a second time. Responding to this, 'Chaos' stated that he was open to fighting Masvidal again and even claimed that he would knock him unconscious.

However, the former UFC interim welterweight champion also mentioned how he managed to defeat Masvidal at UFC 272 despite his performance being one of the worst of his career. He stated:

"Yeah he can get beat up again. Man, he can get put out unconscious this time. You know that was my worst performance and his best performance and he still got starched every single round. So, if the fans want to see me put his lights out for good and if we see each other, he knows that we see each other on the streets. He talks too reckless like he's gonna beat up there as well, drop him on the concrete but the UFC won't be able to pay his medical bills. So, hopefully he'll get another UFC fight but I'm open to anything," Covington said.
