It is quite evident from previous interviews that UFC star Colby Covington isn’t a fan of the former longest-reigning UFC Lightweight Champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov. Recently, Jorge Masvidal revealed an incident that involved Covington. He divulged that the incident transpired at the American Top Team (ATT) gym after ‘Chaos’ disrespected former UFC lightweight champion.
Jorge Masvidal opens up on the incident
It has been noted that Covington doesn’t train at ATT gym anymore, but during his time there, he trolled Khabib. as a result of that, a group of Russian fighters at the facility took offense and confronted him inside the bathroom. During a recent conversation with ESPN MMA reporter Marc Raimondi, Masvidal added that he had hoped the Russians would tear Covington apart:
“He said some things about Khabib Nurmagomedov. We got a bunch of Russians here [at ATT] and guess what? Those Russians got him in the bathroom because he was in the sauna with like four or five of them. And they told him, ‘Hey brother, you cannot talk like this.’ He’s like, ‘No, I am sorry.’ At the time, we were not cool at all because he had already ripped off my coach. So I was like I hope they f**k him up.”
The grudge match between Covington and Masvidal is scheduled to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, this weekend.
Colby has also expressed his opinions on ‘The Eagle’ to the public through various interviews in the past. After Khabib beat Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in October 2020 and announced his retirement, Covington told Submission Radio that ‘The Eagle’ is after to compete in the UFC’s welterweight division. Previously, Khabib revealed weight gain at Islam Makhachev fight. ‘Chaos’ insisted that the ‘scared’ Dagestani star cut weight and fought smaller opponents when he could compete in a higher weight class as per his real size:
“Of course, Khabib should be able to beat Gaethje. He cuts all that weight. He’s beating up these little midgets. Come on, fight [in] your real weight class… I’m the reason that he doesn’t come up to 170 [pounds] in the first place. There’s a reason Khabib cuts all that weight. Everybody knows he walks around at like 190 [lbs]. He’s bigger than me. I am a real man. Khabib is looking for a weight advantage,” Covington had claimed.
