Colby Covington has responded to Jorge Masvidal’s cheating allegations. ‘Gamebred’ has accused his former teammate of poking him in the eye during their headlining bout at UFC 272.<\/p>\n

UFC 272<\/a>‘s main event saw friends-turned-foes collide as ‘Chaos’ took on ‘Gamebred’. In the end, the build to the fight turned out to be much better than the bout itself. Covington dominated the matchup and won the bout via a lopsided unanimous decision. Despite the fight being one-sided, both men have continued their beef online<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Covington has spent his time taunting his foe, Masvidal has instead claimed that ‘Chaos’ cheated in the bout. In the days following the fight, ‘Gamebred’ has claimed about eye pokes that occurred during the bout. He’s even taken to social media to show off damage to his eye<\/a>. ‘Gamebred’ has also said that the feud between the two isn’t over, which Covington seemingly disagrees<\/a> with.<\/p>\n

Colby Covington has now taken his time to respond to the comments made by Jorge Masvidal. In an interview with Submission Radio, it’s safe to say the UFC welterweight contender isn’t impressed with his foe’s eye poke comments. ‘Chaos’ opined that it’s getting harder and harder to take anything that Masvidal takes seriously.<\/p>\n

Jorge Masvidal suffers defeat to Colby Covington at UFC 272<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s full of sh*t, he\u2019s full of lies, and people believe what I say now because I speak truth, and I speak honestly. Like, yeah, sometimes it\u2019s brutally honest. Sometimes it hurts feelings. Oh, he can go in there to beat people up and send them to the hospital, but it\u2019s OK. Don\u2019t say some mean words. Don\u2019t be a meanie head. But this guy, no one takes this guy serious anymore. If you take that guy serious anymore, then you\u2019re just as uneducated as him, and you probably didn\u2019t get a middle school degree, just like him, Jorge Masvidal.\u201d (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n
