Colby Covington now has a chance at the title shot if Kamaru Usman defeats Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261 this weekend. UFC president Dana White refused to comment on what would happen if Jorge Masvidal becomes the champion instead. But Colby Covington is out to stir Jorge as much as he can.
In a recent interview, with The Mac Life, Colby Covington took his attack on Jorge Masvidal’s personal life a notch above. He said, “I was just with his ex-wife yesterday. We know that Google is completely fake news. It says Jorge Masvidal’s wife is Iman Kawa, the mother of his children is Iman Kawa. That’s a complete lie. The mother of his children and his wife that is still on the marriage certificate today. They’re not divorced yet – is Maritza Collado.”
Further, he called out Jorge for being an incompetent fighter, husband, father, and prays to see Masvidal get ‘destroyed’. Colby said, “The truth is, Jorge Masvidal is a piece of shit father, piece of shit fighter and I hope I get to expose him in front of the whole world soon.”
