Jorge Masvidal takes issue with UFC president Dana White, Colby Covington title shot: ‘He says a lot of things’

Jorge Masvidal isn’t convinced that Colby Covington will be the next man to challenge Leon Edwards.

Despite Covington’s lack of activity in the last year and an unimpressive record of 2-2 in his last four outings, Dana White seems convinced that ‘Chaos’ is the most logical choice for a welterweight title opportunity. The UFC president doubled down on that belief during his appearance at the UFC San Antonio post-fight press event, but ‘Gamebred’ sees things going very differently.

Addressing White’s insistence that Colby Covington is the top contender, Jorge Masvidal believes those plans will change should he take care of business on April 8 against Gilbert Burns.
