UFC star Colby Covington was recently assaulted by none other than his former best friend, Jorge Masvidal. Recently, ‘Chaos’ took to his Instagram account and posted a video clip as he spoke about Americas Pick of the Week with his two girlfriends.

UFC president Dana White recently gave his first public thoughts on Jorge Masvidal assaulting Colby Covington. It has been noted that in the last month in the main event of UFC 272, ‘Chaos’ and ‘Gamebred’ had locked horns. The build-up to the fight was intense, as both men traded many personal insults. Covington had crossed his limits and called Masvidal a bad father and discussed his children.
The fight itself was a dominant performance by Colby Covington, as he won via unanimous decision. However, both men said they would fight outside of the octagon if they saw each other again. It seems that ‘Gamebred’ was serious about his words. Weeks after their fight, Masvidal assaulted Covington outside a restaurant in Miami. He reportedly sucker-punched his foe several times, causing broken teeth. In response, Masvidal was arrested, and Covington is pressing charges.
Dana White breaks his silence
White spoke about the matter on The Pat McAfee Show. He said that he is not surprised how things have panned out.
“Listen, man, in no way shape, or form, do I ever condone my guys fighting in the street or s*it like that. But, on the flip side, when you’re dealing with a guy like Jorge Masvidal, and you start talking about his family, listen, when you start talking about families, it goes to another level. You talk about families and you’re walking out of a restaurant, you’d better be ready for a guy like Jorge Masvidal to run up on you.”
White continued:
“Is anyone shocked? He talked s*it about his kids and his wife and you thought he’s not going to do that? Of course, he’s going to do that.”
