Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal are pursuing another championship opportunity against Kamaru Usman. However, with both men losing to the champion in recent appearances, it is clear that they will need a fight or two before getting a shot again. Covington already has an idea for one, and it involves Masvidal.
Masvidal was supposed to fight Leon Edwards at UFC 269, but an undisclosed injury forced him to withdraw. Though he did not reveal the exact injury, ‘Gamebred’ told Ariel Helwani on an episode of The MMA Hour that it was “a good one” and said it would require between five and six weeks of recovery.
