NEW YORK CITY – Colby Covington walks through the doors at American Top Team and is intercepted by security. Jorge Masvidal is sequestered in another training room.
These days, those are the necessary steps to keep the UFC welterweight rivals from fighting every day, according to Masvidal. Ever since an acrimonious split in public, Masvidal said he’s tried to make Covington answer for his words.
Masvidal is scheduled to fight Nate Diaz at UFC 244, which takes place Saturday at Madison Square Garden. But a grudge match with Covington looms large.
