Colby Covington returned to Submission Radio, following his win over Tyron Woodley, and talked about the coming fight vs. Jorge Masvidal.
Dana White came up to me after my fight immediately and said, ‘hey, we want to do you versus Street Judas Masvidal.’ I accepted right on that night, in that minute,” said Covington. “So, he knows I’m on board, the UFC knows I’m on board. Now it’s just about getting Street Judas Masvidal on board. He’s scared. He’s scared of my shadow. If my shadow was around him, he’d be running. So, who knows if he’ll show up to the Octagon. I definitely don’t want to have to beat him up on the streets of Miami, cause I am the King of Miami.
“I don’t want to beat him up in the streets of Miami, guys. Cause if I beat him up there, nobody’s gonna pay his hospital bills. At least if I go out there and expose him in front of the world, in the UFC Octagon on live television, then he’ll get his hospital and medical bills paid for. The thing is, Jorge is going to have to show up to fight me one day. He’s going to have to show up to pay his ex-wife’s lawyer fees. He’s gotta pay alimony payments, he’s got some other things he’s gotta pay. So, he’s gonna be broke soon. He’s gonna come running to Daddy, and he knows the only money fight he’s getting is me. I’m his money fight.
“That other fight that they’re trying to do with that Soyboy [a reference to Nate Diaz], they’re not trying to do that fight. That’s just a fight he’s begging for because he won it one-sided, and now he’s looking for an easy fight. So, this is the fight that’s being presented to him, that’s the only that should be made, and it’s the biggest fight they can probably make in the UFC right now. It’s a pay-per-view main event, it’s a five-rounder, it’s an exciting match-up with fireworks on the line. I’m not going to be looking to dance on his feet like Marty Fakenewsman did, I’m gonna be looking to dance on his face, break his face, and he’s leaving that Octagon in a body bag, mark my words.
I think the best place to propose it for would be for American Airlines arena in Miami, Florida. I think that would be a great ticket. And hopefully by the time fans come back in December/January, it’s just perfect. It alines perfectly and there’s a big market for MMA in Miami. So, people want to see fighting in Miami, and I think the UFC needs to come back to Miami.
“My sparring sessions with Street Judas Jorge Masvidal, they were violent. I mean, he was unconscious multiple times. I left Woodley in a pool of his blood and unconscious once or twice, but Jorge Masvidal, it was ten times the effect on him. I mean, he’s just the easier fighter. He’s a little guy. He’s got no heart. He’s a frontrunner. I know how he fights, and he’s emotional, more importantly. It would be so violent. I would feel so bad he’d leave in a body bag. Well, nah, I wouldn’t feel bad because he’s a piece of s*** person, he’s a dirtbag, and he did turn his back on me for no reason. So, I promise you, it’s going to be violent and it’s going to be nasty. And he knows that, and that’s why he’s not saying anything, and he’s probably going to avoid this fight as long as he can. I did some bad horrible things to Woodley. He had to leave on a stretcher. Jorge Masvidal is leaving in a body bag when we fight. I promise you that.
He said a lot of stuff before, but if you guys didn’t notice, you should look at him now. He’s silent. He’s got nothing to say, because he knows what’s coming now. He knows what’s in front of him, and he knows he’s gonna get embarrassed in front of the world and he’s gonna get hurt. He’s not gonna look recognizable to his kids anymore. His kids are never going to look at him the same again. They’re gonna call me his Daddy after I’m finished with him, cause I am Jorge Masvidal’s Daddy.
