Jorge Masvidal blasts Colby Covington for selling out: ’13th disciple is a b—h’

Jorge Masvidal wasn’t about to let Colby Covington’s comments slide.

Masvidal has made it clear that he thinks Covington sold out, and was using him all along. The two are former training partners at American Top Team, as well as former roommates.

Covington challenges UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman on Saturday at UFC 245 and continued to trash Masvidal during fight week, referring to him as “Journeyman Jorge” and “Street Judas.”

Masvidal has lashed out at Covington by digging up some past memories from their early days at ATT.

With Masvidal having a remarkable 2019, and in the running for “Fighter of the Year,” he and Covington could cross paths should things go Covington’s way Saturday in what could have the makings of a massive grudge match.

UFC 245 takes place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN2 and early prelims on UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
