Jorge Masvidal says Colby Covington has not been back at American Top Team since his loss to Kamaru Usman.<\/p>\n

In the main event of UFC 245, Covington was finally getting the title shot that had been eluding him for so long<\/a> when he took on Usman. There, the two rivals trash-talked for months leading up into the fight, and the scrap was a close one until the fifth round when Usman dropped “Chaos” twice and TKO’d him to retain his belt<\/a>. Covington also broke his jaw in the fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For Masvidal, he says since the scrap, Covington has been non-existent at ATT.<\/p>\n

“Who?” Masvidal asked with a laugh during a recent appearance on The Ariel Helwani MMA Show<\/a>. (via MMA Mania<\/a>). “As soon as he got his jaw broken, no man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet, according to Jorge Masvidal, it is good Colby Covington has not been in the gym since the fight as Dustin Poirier still has it out for him<\/a>. “The Diamond,” said it was on sight and he means it. But, “Gamebred,” says Covington is in witness protection program and doesn’t go to the gym anymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook D, [Dustin Poirier] is going to get upset that I\u2019m even saying this because it\u2019s locker room talk,” Masvidal said. “But, he\u2019s like, \u2018Yo man, where the f**k is Colby?\u2019 So I\u2019m like, don\u2019t even worry about him because he\u2019s on witness protection program.”<\/p>\n

When Colby Covington will return to the gym is unknown. But, Jorge Masvidal even said he suspects his former friend and roommate won’t fight again after the loss to Usman<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the end, Masvidal reaffirmed that Covington is not training at ATT right now and believes \u2018Chaos\u2019 got what he deserved with the broken jaw and loss.<\/p>\n

“But nah, that dude don\u2019t go to the gym, man. He\u2019s a punk and he got what he deserved,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
