Last weekend, Colby Covington defeated a former training partner in Tyron Woodley. Now, he wants to fight another in Jorge Masvidal.<\/p>\n

Covington defeated Woodley by fifth-round TKO in the main event of UFC Vegas 11 last Saturday. With that grudge match out of the way, he’s hoping to fight Jorge Masvidal next, who like Woodley, is another one of his former training partners from his days at American Top Team.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media after his win over Woodley, Covington compared his previous training partners with Woodley and Masvidal, identifying the former as the tougher training partner.<\/p>\n

\u201cDefinitely Tyron was more competitive,\u201d Covington said (via MMA Junkie<\/a>). \u201cI mean you could go look at the videos of me training with Jorge Masvidal. There\u2019s a video on YouTube, us in the apartment training for two hours straight, me just toying with him, playing with him. When I used to train with Jorge in the gym, they used to tell me to go light on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019d be like, \u2018Hey, go light on him today. He\u2019s preparing for his fights so we want to build his confidence. We don\u2019t want him to go into his fight beat down so go easy on him today because we want to make sure he\u2019s confident going into his fight.\u2019\u00a0\u2018Street Judas\u2019 Masvidal knows who his daddy is. I\u2019m so mad that last father\u2019s day, he didn\u2019t give me a shout out because I am Jorge Masvidal\u2019s daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Covington then reiterated that, after beating Woodley, his No. 1 priority is a grudge match<\/a> with his former stablemate, Masvidal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere\u2019s Jorge Masvidal at?\u201d Covington said. \u201cHe needs to come see me for all the talking he\u2019s done. Come see if can walk the walk. I talk the talk and I walk the walk. I want to see Jorge Masvidal in that octagon. \u2026 I want the best friends turned enemy fight with \u2018Street Judas\u2019 Jorge Masvidal.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been talking all that talk reckless. He used to talk at the old gym, \u2018I\u2019m going to beat your ass, I\u2019m going to do this, I\u2019m going to do that.\u2019 OK. Let\u2019s see it. Come see me in the octagon then. He\u2019s going after that California soy-boy Nate Diaz because he\u2019s going after easy fights. I\u2019m going to expose him like I did Tyron Woodley tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n
