Jorge Masvidal has weighed in on why he didn’t ‘pounce’ on Colby Covington after scoring a knockdown in round four at UFC 272.<\/p>\n

It was Masvidal (35-16 MMA) vs Covington (17-3 MMA) last Saturday, March 5th in the welterweight main event at T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. ‘Chaos’ was to be victorious by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Covington had the better fight, but Masvidal was able to rally in round four after a massive right hook sent Covington to the ground, but ultimately Masvidal wasn’t able to capitalize on the knockdown.<\/p>\n

In speaking at the post fight press conference, Jorge Masvidal had this to say about his missed opportunity during round four:<\/p>\n

\u201cShit, and then I didn\u2019t pounce on him after I dropped him,\u201d <\/em>Masvidal said (h\/t MMANews<\/a>). \u201cI wasn\u2019t surprised that he bounced up. I was surprised that I didn\u2019t go and take his head off. I thought he was gonna shoot immediately on me, so I just (was) thinking of the wrong shit instead of just go and take his head off. I was tired; he was tired and hurt.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Colby Covington vs. Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Continuing Jorge Masvidal commented:<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was my chance right there. That was that window of five, six seconds to give it all I got, and make a sprint, and make a big change. Maybe I could\u2019ve made that round 10-8, 10-7, who knows? But I didn\u2019t take that opening.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

After signing a new deal with the UFC prior to the match-up with Covington, Masvidal now needs to find a way back into the win column. ‘Gamebred’ has now lost three in a row, including back-to-back losses to welterweight champion Kamaru Usman<\/a> (20-1 MMA).\u00a0 Masvidal\u2019s last win was back in November 2019 at UFC 244 where he defeated Nate Diaz (21-13 MMA) by technical knockout in the third round.<\/p>\n
