"You shouldn't have backstabbed me" - Watch Colby Covington let out his animosity towards Jorge Masvidal on a ground and pound bag
UFC 272 is around the corner and sparks are flying once again. Colby Covington has been spotted taking out his anger on his gym equipment while visualizing it as Jorge Masvidal.
Leading into their fight next week, the back and forth between the two former roommates is as heated as ever.
During a recent episode of UFC Countdown, Covington can be seen putting work in on a ground and pound bag whilst directing words towards his former friend. Covington could be heard saying:
"F*** you Jorge, you wanna turn your back on me?... You shouldn't have backstabbed me."
The 47-minute-long video highlights the two main-eventers and their path to the T-Mobile Arena on March 5. Throughout the episode, 'Chaos' sat down to talk about his fallout with Dan Lambert and American Top Team, his history with Masvidal, and his career.
Covington will look to show the 37-year-old who's the better fighter. Jorge Masvidal, on his part, remains hellbent on punishing his foe next Saturday.
