UFC welterweight contender Jorge Masvidal has taken a shot at rival Colby Covington’s feud with LeBron James in a recent social media post.<\/p>\n

Masvidal and Covington, who used to be close friends and training partners, are now expected to square off in early 2021 with the expectation being that the winner will get another crack at divisional champion Kamaru Usman later in the year.<\/p>\n

After Covington recently took it upon himself to call out basketball star LeBron James, Masvidal made the decision to bring up one of Colby’s more positive posts about LeBron from 2016.<\/p>\n

\"Colby<\/p>\n

This 2016 post from Covington is a starkly different from his latest comments about James, who ha been the object of his derision for several reasons. He even challenged the basketball legend to a fight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heard they finally scraped @nate_robinson<\/a>\u2019s carcass off the @staplescenter<\/a> floor. I\u2019d make @kingjames<\/a> eat the canvas in half the amount of time. Everyone knows current @NBA<\/a> players are the softest and most privileged athletes on the planet. #TysonJones<\/a> #Facts<\/a><\/p>\n
