Colby Covington says Jorge Masvidal’s shady managers have ‘tried to turn him against me’

Colby Covington has never had a problem with longtime teammate and friend Jorge Masvidal, but ‘Chaos’ is very wary of ‘Gamebred’s’ management team, First Round Management.

Covington, who trains with Masvidal at American Top Team (ATT) in Coconut Creek, Florida, could soon cross paths with his teammate in the Octagon and, should that happen, the former UFC interim welterweight titleholder would have no problem training alongside Masvidal in preparation for the bout.

With that said, Covington doesn’t believe Masvidal’s managers, Malki and Abraham Kawa, would ever allow that happen and accused the Kawa brothers of trying to turn Masvidal against him.
