Jorge Masvidal has reacted to Colby Covington’s UFC 296 loss to Leon Edwards. ‘Chaos’ ended a nearly two-year hiatus over the weekend, facing Leon Edwards. The bout was the first since a unanimous decision win over Jorge Masvidal in March 2022. Nonetheless, the build to the fight was intense and heated, as Colby Covington publicly mocked the welterweight champion’s deceased father. As a result, many fighters blasted the former interim champion.

UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington has again slammed Jorge Masvidal. The saga between ‘Chaos’ and ‘Gamebred’ is quite a lengthy one.

UFC analyst Chael Sonnen has slammed Jorge Masvidal, just hours after the latter reached a plea deal in his case involving Colby Covington. ‘Gamebred’ was last seen in a Florida courthouse earlier today.

While ‘Chaos’ claimed a unanimous decision that night, he wouldn’t celebrate for long.

Jorge Masvidal says he and Colby Covington are going to see one another again, whether it’s in a cage or on the street.

It appears that former UFC welterweight title challenger Jorge Masvidal is heading to boxing. ‘Gamebred’ famously retired following a loss to Gilbert Burns in April at UFC 287. The defeat was Jorge Masvidal’s fourth in a row, previously losing to Colby Covington and Kamaru Usman. Prior to the event, the Miami native stated that he would retire with a defeat, and he kept his word.

In the main event of UFC 291, Gaethje became the new BMF champion as he scored a second-round head kick KO win over Dustin Poirier.

Donald Trump isn’t a fan of Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington feuding. Both Masvidal and Covington have been vocal about their support for Trump while he was in office and since his departure. However, the two became enemies and even fought at UFC 272, where it was Covington who won a lopsided decision, which was a tough spot for Trump as he likes both of them.
