Jorge Masvidal already holds the fastest knockout in UFC history, and he expects even more devastation to occur when he eventually squares off with Colby Covington.<\/p>\n

Masvidal and Covington used to be best friends and training partners. Yet, recently the two started to dislike one another<\/a>. Both men have shared different stories as to why their friendship came to an end<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Given the two both train at American Top Team, Jorge Masvidal asked owner, Dan Lambert, if he could settle his beef with Colby in the gym. But, “Gamebred,” says that request has been denied.<\/p>\n

\u201dMy argument with Dan and the company is, we\u2019re both men, we both know how to defend ourselves,\u201d Masvidal said on media day<\/a>. \u201cWhen I see him, and he sees me, let\u2019s just handle it, and let it be what it is, because that is my city, and I\u2019m very polite to him. Because with the snap of fingers, I could have five cars packed to the teeth with individuals that make sure he never comes back. I don\u2019t do that. I want to handle it man to man. He won\u2019t give me that. I really want to talk to him and tell him, \u2018What is your f*cking problem?\u2019 He won\u2019t do that. He\u2019s a coward.<\/p>\n

\u201dJust like [Tyron] Woodley says, he hides in corners when he was at the gym, that\u2019s what he does. But when ([he media] is around and a couple [of] security guards, man, that dude is a pitbull all of a sudden.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is a chance the two will be able to settle it inside the Octagon. Many believe if Jorge Masvidal wins on Saturday he will be getting a welterweight title shot. And, given Colby Covington is fighting for the belt<\/a>, the possibility of them fighting is real.<\/p>\n

If they do end up fighting each other, Masvidal promises to beat Covington worse than what he did to Askren<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201dA lot of people said that what I did to Ben [Askren] was a little uncalled for,\u201d he said. \u201cNah, it wasn\u2019t. What I\u2019m going to do to Colby is going to be uncalled for, and I can put my life on that.\u201d<\/p>\n
