Jorge Masvidal has claimed that his beef with teammate and friend Colby Covington stemmed from the former interim UFC welterweight champion “ripping off” one of their coaches.
Masvidal and Covington both train out of American Top Team in Florida. The coaches that Masvidal claimed Covington ripped off are the same ones that led him to interim UFC welterweight gold when he defeated Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 225 last June.
Speaking recently on The Dan LeBatard Show, Masvidal claimed Covington failed to pay a mutual coach of theirs, and that’s when problems occurred between the two.
