Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal used to be friends, but those days are over. Today, the pair reside as two of the fiercest rivals<\/a> in the UFC welterweight division.<\/p>\n

Covington expects he and Masvidal will soon have the opportunity to settle their differences in the cage, but warns that their feud could lead to unsanctioned violence in the meantime.<\/p>\n

If they cross paths on the street, Covington says, he intends to inflict life-changing damage.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe and Street Judas are 100 percent gonna fight before it\u2019s all said and done,\u201d Covington said on MMA Fighting’s What the Heck<\/em><\/a> podcast. \u201cWe might fight a couple of times, because if I see him in the street, it\u2019s gonna be a fade session. He\u2019s gonna get put on the concrete, I\u2019m gonna drop him on his f*ckin\u2019 head and put stitches in the back of his head. It\u2019s not gonna be nice, I promise you that.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he knows that, deep down inside he knows,” Covington added. “But he\u2019s willing to take a paycheck in the UFC to get his ass whupped because he knows the UFC is gonna pay his f*cking medical bills. Besides that, if we fight on the street, I\u2019m gonna drop him on his f*cking head, and he\u2019s never gonna be the same person again because he\u2019s gonna be concussed, the concrete\u2019s gonna mess with him. I\u2019ll probably kick his teeth in, too, while I\u2019m at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Masvidal has recently enjoyed an explosion in popularity, but Covington feels that popularity is unwarranted. By his estimation, Masvidal isn’t as good as we’ve been led to believe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pathetic that [Masvidal] even claims to be one of the best fighters in the world,\u201d he said. \u201cHe was just getting beat up by\u00a0Demian Maia, Stephen \u2018Wondergirl\u2019 Thompson, less than a couple of years ago. He doesn\u2019t want to fight, he\u2019s waiting for\u00a0Conor McGregor, and Conor McGregor doesn\u2019t give a sh*t about him. You saw with Conor at the fight when he beat up [Donald] Cerrone, he would have called Jorge out. He was front row in his little bathing suit, his little bathing robe, his Gucci bath robe, whatever the f*ck he was wearing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a cool f*cking gimmick, \u2018Journeyman\u2019 Jorge Masvidal hit lightning in a bottle and he\u2019s trying to capitalize right now and to be honest, he\u2019s not gonna capitalize because he dropped the ball on the \u2018Marty Fakenewsman\u2019 fight and Conor doesn\u2019t want to fight him, so who\u2019s gonna fight journeymen?\u201d<\/p>\n
