Colby Covington is not willing to fulfill his dream of knocking out Jorge Masvidal in the cage. Colby Covington is not willing to fulfill his dream of knocking out Jorge Masvidal in the cage. His rematch with Kamaru Usman, which would be for the title, is now the main objective. That being the case, a few hours ago he spoke to MMA Junkie and left a strong message to the great UFC Welterweight fighter. However, the fans are still waiting for that crossover.
Not mincing words, Covington said, “It doesn’t make sense. I’m not going to let people downplay my victory if I beat him. I’ve already owned his soul for the last 10 years when we trained together at American Top Team. You can go look on the Internet, I used to hold him in our kitchen and just slap him in the face, ‘Get up Masvidal, get up, do something,’ and he couldn’t do anything.”

“So he knows I’m his dad, I’m his rightful owner, and there’s a reason he avoided the fight for so long. He doesn’t want to fight me. He knows I own the keys to his soul, so I don’t know. If UFC really wants to do it, I’m the people’s champion and I’m the United States champion for a reason. I’ll do what the people want, what the UFC wants,” added the American.
He’s ready
As if that wasn’t enough, Colby made it clear that he’s looking for bigger names: “I want to put the biggest and best fights in the organization, but I don’t feel like he’s the biggest and best fight in the organization. The guy has almost 20 losses on his record, he’s nothing more than a journeyman at this point, so his 10 seconds of fame has gone up and there’s nothing he can win anymore.”
“I already beat him and knocked him out several times in the gym. I have nothing to prove against him. I want to go out there, beat ‘Marty Fakenewsman,’ cement myself as the best welterweight in the world and go on to cement myself as the best welterweight of all time. I have unfinished business,” concluded Colby Covington. Many believe his next step should be with Kamaru Usman for the title, but what’s next for him?
