But, where that has left his best friend and teammate, in Jorge Masvidal is unknown.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gamebred&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/conor-mcgregor\/jorge-masvidal-will-only-accept-two-opponents-for-his-next-fight\/\">made it clear he would only fight for the title<\/a> or Conor McGregor next, but <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/conor-mcgregor\/dana-white-says-fight-offer-is-coming-for-jorge-masvidal-but-its-not-conor-mcgregor\/\">White shut that down<\/a>. Yet, Covington believes that actually makes sense for him to fight Usman and Masvidal to fight McGregor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbsolutely (that works),\u201d Covington <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9vMyu7wnL-g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said to Submission Radio<\/a>. \u201cHe knew that title shot was never his all along. We\u2019re one of the best dynamic duos in the history of MMA, but let\u2019s get it right, we are the Batman and Robin, of course I\u2019m Batman and he\u2019s Robin, but you guys know what I mean.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If that fight did indeed happen, Colby Covington knows Jorge Masvidal would win that scrap, and win it rather easily. He believes the size and pressure would be too much for the Irishman to withstand. &#8220;Chaos&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/dana-white\/dana-white-confirms-colby-covington-next-in-line-for-kamaru-usman\/\">also gave a slight dig at Usman and promised he would beat him, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He would piece up Conor for sure,\u201d Covington explained. \u201cNo doubt about it. Conor\u2019s too small. He\u2019s a little guy and you know, this and that. So, that\u2019s that, but you know, 170, we\u2019re not talking about that, we\u2019re talking about Marty Fakenewsman and we\u2019re talking about that receding hairline that he has. He\u2019s losing that hairline faster than he\u2019s about to lose that number one contender Power Ranger belt. The guy\u2019s on borrowed time right now, boys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/att-owner-jorge-masvidal-should-get-title-shot-or-conor-mcgregor\/\">seems unlikely<\/a> Conor McGregor vs. Jorge Masvidal happens. But, if it does, Colby Covington is extremely confident that &#8220;Gamebred&#8221; would be the one to get his hand raised.<\/p>\n<p>Who do you think would win the fight between Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor?
