Despite Colby Covington’s devastating TKO loss to Kamaru Usman at UFC 245, it looks like his feud with former friend and training partner Jorge Masvidal is only just heating up.
Masvidal opened fire on Covington with a barrage of insults on social media after “Chaos” claimed he was “robbed” by Marc Goddard.
The referee stopped the fight with 50 seconds left, as Usman rained down blows on a grounded Covington, who had been dropped twice in the fifth round and had suffered a broken jaw in the third round.
“Just a kid from Oregon chasing the American dream,” Covington wrote on Instagram. “Working hard and earning everything in my life the hard way since day one.


“I put myself out there in front of the world to kill or be killed. Marc Godard robbed me tonight with p*** poor officiating. He let my opponent fake injuries for extra time and stopped the fight early.
“Just like America, my will and spirit can never be broken. Speed bumps can’t slow me down. You people ain’t seen nothing yet.”

Masvidal then claimed Covington deleted a reply he had written in the comments on the post, but made sure to take a screenshot of the second reply he composed.
“Since you deleted the first one. You are not just a kid from Oregon. You are a piece of s*** from Oregon that got [American Top Team owner] Dan Lambert to give you everything from free housing to training,” Masvidal wrote.
“Nobody stole s*** from you yet you stole from numerous coaches and people. You got exactly what you deserved. B****.”

In a separate post on Twitter, Masvidal reiterated his claim Covington did not pay coach Mike Brown the agreed 5 per cent of his purse after he beat Rafael Dos Anjos for the interim welterweight title last year.
“They say never kick a man when he is down but you not a man,” Masvidal wrote. “Should’ve paid my coach, it’s cheaper than getting your jaw wired shut.”
