Colby Covington sure knows how to get under people’s skin. The No. 1 ranked UFC welterweight is now making a shocking claim about his bitter rival, Jorge Masvidal.
Covington and Mavidal have been going at each others for years, but now things have been taken to a personal level.
On Thursday, Covington shared a picture on social media of himself with “Mrs. Masvidal,” writing, “Out here playing games with Mrs. Masvidal. Great catching up with you Maritza.”
During a recent interview with Helen Yee — Covington said that he was too busy to watch the UFC 261 press conference because he was hanging out with Maritza.
No, I didn’t get a chance to watch it,” Covington said. “I was actually hanging out with Jorge Masvidal’s legal wife and the mother of his two children. So we were just chatting, catching up, you know, taking a trip down memory lane.”

Covington then broke down why he wants to fight Masvidal, claiming he’s “not a good person.”
“The only reason why I wanted to fight ‘Street Judas’ Masvidal… It’s a serious beef,” Chaos said. “I hate the guy. He hates me. And that’s being nice about it. We were best friends for eight years. He’s walking around like he’s the king of Miami. He’s a piece-of-s*** person. He cheated on his wife; he cheated on his kids. He lies to his kids. He’s just not a good person. So I want to expose him in front of the whole world.”
Masvidal is scheduled to fight for the welterweight strap on Saturday night at UFC 261.
Covington is coming off a fifth-round TKO victory over Tyron Woodley in September.
