Coach confirms Colby Covington’s refusal to pay camp fees as reason for Jorge Masvidal feud

It was around 2019 when the feud between former long-time friends Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal began to rear its ugly head. That time, Masvidal spoke up about what he says is the reason for their rift.

“He ripped off my coach, that was his coach,” Masvidal claimed in his appearance on the Dan LeBatard show. “We were with him until his title fight. After he won the title, he owed him a certain amount of money but didn’t pay him.

“I said if you don’t pay him I’m going to f—k you up. My coach got in between it, it doesn’t have to be like this, let it slide since I ain’t talked to the dude.
