Dana White: Colby Covington should have been ready for Jorge Masvidal sucker punch

It’s safe to say UFC President Dana White isn’t feeling particularly sorry for Colby Covington after his top ranked welterweight was allegedly sucker punched by rival Jorge Masvidal outside of a Miami restaurant.

Covington, who beat Masvidal over five rounds at UFC 272 last month, reportedly suffered a broken tooth in the attack. Masvidal has since been charged with battery over the incident.

White was asked about the incident during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show recently. On that show White suggested that Covington, whose shtick is one of the most offensive and annoying of anyone’s on UFC roster, should have seen this all coming.
