Masvidal's manager Malki Kawa also took to Twitter to share his take on the incident. Kawa was not impressed with Menery's tweet directed at Masvidal and replied:
"Colby talked about the man’s kids. I guess that’s ok in your world, no disappointment there. You sound like a grade a hoe. "

All the details of the incident are still not properly known. However, one can expect those to come out with time.
Masvidal and Covington fought inside the UFC octagon at UFC 272 earlier this month, with 'Chaos' claiming a lopsided decision win.
Will a colby Covington vs. Jorge Masvidal rematch take place?
Colby Covington was clearly the better fighter when the duo clashed at UFC 272. However, the bad blood between the pair is still boiling, especially judging by the recent incident.
They were involved in one of the most heated rivalries in recent times. The former friends-turned-bitter rivals went all guns blazing towards each other in the build-up to their UFC 272 fight. The war of words didn't stop even after they battled for 25 minutes inside the octagon.
However, given the dominant nature of Colby Covington's win, it's highly unlikely they will engage in an immediate rematch. That being said, the possibility of them fighting again in the UFC can't be dismissed altogether, especially after the latest incident.
