A matchup seemingly tailor-made for box office success is still yet to materialize, and Colby Covington is putting the blame on his adversary.
For a while now, Covington has been tied to a grudge match with his former friend and training partner, Jorge Masvidal. But the two have yet to cross paths inside the octagon.
Covington and Masvidal competed in high-profile bouts in 2020, with Covington defeating another longtime rival, Tyron Woodley, and Masvidal falling short in his attempt to wrest the UFC welterweight championship from Kamar Usman.
Even though the time may seem right, Covington told Submission Radio that there has been no word regarding negotiations on fighting Masvidal.
