Colby Covington explains beef with ‘jealous’ Jorge Masvidal and ‘egomaniac’ Dustin Poirier

Colby Covington already has several feuds simmering with fighters on the UFC roster and now there’s two more added to that list who train under the same roof as him.

Last week, the outspoken former welterweight champion took aim at “trash bag” Jorge Masvidal, who he once called his best friend as he was making his way up the welterweight rankings in the UFC.

Masvidal has been making a lot of noise in the division after knocking out Ben Askren and Darren Till in consecutive fights but he landed on Covington’s radar after he accepted a title fight against reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Usman at UFC 244.
