UFC 272: Poker, sushi and betrayal - How Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal went from roommates to rivals

COCONUT CREEK, Fla. - Jorge Masvidal walked into the American Top Team (ATT) gym one day in September 2019 and spotted Colby Covington. The two men, formerly best friends and roommates, now barely got along. The tension between them was high.

Masvidal approached Covington and said they should talk after practice. Covington asked what he wanted to talk about, and Masvidal responded that Covington was "being a b----" and he didn't appreciate some of the things Covington had said about him in interviews. Covington agreed they should chat.

"It's pretty amicable," Masvidal told ESPN of that moment.
