Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington have been feuding online and through the media now for months, but to date, an official fight between the rivals has yet to materialize.

While Covington has been calling for a rematch with welterweight champ, Kamaru Usman, he insists he’s going to fight “Gamebred” somewhere, somehow.

Covington vows he and Masvidal will fight

For a long time, Masvidal and Covington referred to each other as friends. In fact, even after Covington started to make headlines for controversial and inflammatory statements, the two remained on good terms. At least publicly.

But, eventually that all changed. Masvidal accused Covington of not paying one of their coaches at American Top Team, and “Chaos” claimed the welterweight was jealous of his success.

Fast forward to today, and the two appear to have one of the most bitter feuds in the game.

In recent months, Covington has repeatedly called for a rematch with Usman, following his devastating loss to the champ in December. But, while speaking to MMA Junkie recently, the polarizing fighter said this about Masvidal.

“Absolutely, I do feel like it needs to be settled in the cage,” Covington said. “But at the same time, if he doesn’t settle it in the cage, it will only be one reason and one person why it didn’t get settled in the cage – and that’ll be because of him.

So if he tucks his tail in between his legs and runs away like the good little (expletive) that he is – he knows I’m his daddy, he knows I gave him so many spankings – so if he runs away, fans will know he’s a coward and he’s scared to fight.

“He doesn’t want to fight the best in the world, and we found out he’s all hype. He’s a 50-50 journeyman. Look at his record.

His resume speaks for itself. He’s been knocked out. He’s been tapped out. Back in high school, he dropped out, and when we used to live together, I kicked him out. He’s a little (expletive).”

“If we don’t fight in the cage, for sure if I ever see him in the streets. We will fight, and he knows what’s going to happen when that happens,” Covington said.

Will Covington – Masvidal happen?

So, due to the story line here, one would think the UFC would love to make this fight happen at some juncture. But, will it happen anytime soon? That’s the question.

Unless Usman get sidelined due to an injury, it doesn’t seem like Covington and Masvidal will battle in the Octagon next. Dana White said earlier this year that Masvidal is next for Usman, and while talks for that fight have reportedly stalled, it could very well still happen.
