"B***h a** that got kicked out from here" - Jorge Masvidal sends a message to 'liability' Colby Covington from ATT gym
Jorge Masvidal has sent a message to Colby Covington ahead of their highly-anticipated grudge match at UFC 272. 'Gamebred' mocked Covington for being removed from the world-renowned ATT (American Top Team) gym. Masvidal tweeted a video recorded at the gym, in which he stated:
“At the home and temple; home to some real motherf**kers. Left and right, I’m not the only one here that’s a bad motherf**ker. Many bad motherf**kers here. But not your b***h a** that got kicked out from here. Damn, man. I know it hurts every time you see that sh**. I know what a sensitive b***h you are and how you read comments and cry. I can’t imagine; every time you see this symbol, it just hurts, man. Keep talking sh**, though. I can’t wait, man. March 5th is getting closer, so is this knee to your temple. Not only am I gonna break your face in a very violent way, but the UFC is going to see you’re such a liability that they’re gonna kick you out, bro.”
Speaking to @arielhelwani, @GamebredFighter revealed that an altercation with Colby Covington led to them both being "kicked out" of ATT.

“Then it’s going to be back to Indian reservations where you can fight. Maybe you can co-main event or some sh** like that because I don’t even think you can main event after I’m done with you, in any show. I’m gonna f**k you up, man. Keep talking that sh**, though. March 5th can’t come close enough. See you soon, b***h. Never forget.”
For years, Masvidal and Covington were friends, roommates, and teammates. However, their friendship fell apart after both fighters rose to MMA superstardom a few years ago.
They’ve since taken multiple personal jibes at one another. Masvidal continues to train at ATT, while Covington has trained at the MMA Masters gym since 2020.

‘Lionheart’ feels Covington’s striking technique and power aren’t as good as Usman’s but his cardio is. Furthermore, picking ‘Chaos’ to beat Jorge Masvidal, Smith said:
"Colby Covington is almost a mirror image of Kamaru Usman, he really is…I don't see anything in the Usman-Masvidal fight that leads me to believe that Colby Covington won't win that fight.”
