The UFC wanted Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal to coach opposite each other on a new series of The Ultimate Fighter, but ‘Gamebred’ turned down the opportunity, according to ‘Chaos’.
Covington claims Masvidal, his ex-teammate and flatmate, turned down a ‘seven-figure payday’ because he’s scared to fight.
“So, the UFC offered him a seven-figure payday, an Ultimate Fighter gig, this heated rivalry,” Covington explained to Submission Radio. “The only reason I wanted to fight Jorge ‘Street Judas’ Masvidal, we got a vendetta and it needs to be settled, and it’s an easy payday for me, and I was willing to go back.
