Jorge Masvidal recently clapped back at Colby Covington for saying that Masvidal's physique was Photoshopped in the UFC 272 poster.

'Gamebred' appeared on the scales for the UFC 272 weigh-in in peak condition. In a recent Instagram post, the Miami native took a shot at 'Chaos':

​

"Thank God and thank you photoshop for the abs. Shoutout to my boy for the dope tattoo work @jk_tattoos #ufc272"

Covington recently claimed that Masvidal doesn't have abs like him. In a YouTube clip uploaded by The Combat Sports Central, 'Chaos' had this to say:

​

"Let me show you why they call me raw American steel and twisted sex appeal. They didn't have to Photoshop these abs on me like they had to do on Jorge. Looked like some kindergartener Photoshopped those abs on the poster for Jorge. He ain't got no abs."

Masvidal's physical condition might just indicate that he is more prepared than ever. It shouldn't come as a surprise considering the animosity between him and Covington.

Masvidal and Covington were once teammates, roommates, and very good friends. Things started to go downhill in the relationship when 'Chaos' allegedly didn't pay their trainer Paulino Hernandez, who is close to Masvidal. Covington's 'heel' persona did not help matters either as he started to throw jibes at others in the ATT gym, including Dustin Poirier.

The duo will finally get to settle their beef inside the octagon at UFC 272.
