Just because someone is an asshole, it doesn’t mean they aren’t good at what they do. Colby Covington proved it once again, securing his biggest scalp in terms of name value by taking down Jorge Masvidal. It was a vintage Covington performance, utilizing extreme pressure with flurries of punches and relentless takedown attempts. Masvidal had some bright moments, including a moment in the fourth where he dropped Covington to a knee for a brief moment. Unfortunately, Masvidal failed to capitalize and Covington had hurt him with a lengthy punching combination earlier in the round, meaning it wasn’t a given Masvidal even took that round.
