UFC welterweight Colby Covington everything must be buried Jorge Masvidal with his past, even if it means going after Masvidal’s alleged ex-wife, Maritza Masvidal. Masvidal and Covington will face each other UFC272 as their story becomes perhaps the worst rivalry in UFC history. Both fighters recently fought in their second title fight against the reigning UFC welterweight world champion. Kamaru Usman.
Masvidal is a vicious fighter with the creative ability to trick his opponent into a cold strike, while Covington is a tough striker who can strike sneakily and with volume, with the threat of a scoring takedown in hand. Masvidal and Covington were best friends and teammates for eight years until things took a turn for the worse and the two fighters started fighting brutally on a personal level.
Colby Covington claims Jorge Masvidal is still married to Maritza Masvidal
In an interview with ESPN MMA Correspondent Brett OkamotoCovington talks about everything from his side, how things have changed with Masvidal, from best friends to bitterest rivals.
“This guy has been spreading false narratives and fake news all week.” Covington said. “None of these journalists are doing their job, they are talking about how I lived on their couch…” No brother, I didn’t live on his couch, I lived on his couch and I’m talking about his ex-wife, the mother of his children, Maritza, Maritza Colado, Maritza Masvidal, they are still legally married…just ask him: “Why are you trying to erase Martiza from history, why are you deleting her and deleting her from the Internet?
She did so much for us… He was a broke fighter, a loser, he had no sponsors, He didn’t have fights for big money at the time, he was an up and coming fighter, I was a broke student so of course I didn’t have any money…So she gave us this roof, put food on our table and cleaned the house for us all the time.…he gave her 2 children and now he’s a dead father, He doesn’t want to admit it…” Covington concluded.
What do you think of Covington’s detailed explanation of Masvidal’s marital history? Do you think Covington is right to bring up Masvidal’s past? Who do you think will win this Saturday between the two, who has a lot of revenge, Masvidal or Covington?
