A long-awaited grudge match between former teammates Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington could be a reality in 2021.
That’s according to UFC President Dana White, who told “The Schmo” that the promotion hopes to pair the rivals next year despite claims from Covington that Masvidal downplayed the matchup because he didn’t like the clash of styles.
“I don’t think Masvidal said, ‘I don’t like that fight stylistically,’” White said. “We’re working on that fight. That’s the fight we want, too, and hopefully we’ll get that done this year, too.
“I’m telling you, we’ve got nothing but big fights all this year, so hopefully we can get a couple of these key ones buttoned up and done and start looking forward to them.
