There was a lot riding on the line for Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272, which is why the “BMF” champ went into isolation after failing to dispose of ex-teammate turned rival Colby Covington following weeks of bitter trash talk in the lead-up to the fight.
Masvidal didn’t comment on his alleged assault of Covington in the weeks following the fight but revealed on a recent episode of Impaulsive (h/t MMA Fighting) that he was ‘f-cking irate’ after losing in such lopsided fashion.
“I was f*cking irate [after the loss]. I was upset, you know, I just like to be in isolation when I get like that, it’s just better for me,” Masvidal, who lost to Covington via unanimous decision, said.
