The war of words between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington is heating up.
Masvidal and Covington were once teammates in American Top Team. They also used to be “best friends” and had an argument as they rose through the ranks of UFC’s welterweight division. The two men have been arguing in media over each other since then. Covington refers to Masvidal often as “Street Judas,” a reference to Masvidal’s “Street Jesus” persona.
After years of back and forth, the two are now scheduled to face off in the main event of UFC 272, and with the fight not too far off, Masvidal fired one of his first salvos on Wednesday night, dropping a video “exposing” Covington as “The Real Street Judas.”
The video is a compilation of clips showing the change in Covington’s behavior, unflattering stories from other fighters about Covington, and even a clip of Covington appearing to admit his persona is simply meant to sell fights.
While it contains nothing new, it is still a scathing attack on Covington, and one that, according to Masvidal, is just the beginning.
