Defeated by Kamaru Usman No. UFC 268, Colby covington seems to be willing to face Jorge masvidal, and in style. In an interview with 'Submission Radio', the former interim welterweight champion (up to 77kg.) spoke of 'resurrecting' the 'The Ultimate Fighter' (TUF) and offered to be one of the coaches on the reality show that he describes as 'boring'.

“That guy doesn’t want to face me. He's going to lose all street cred one way or another. If he faces me, he loses. If he doesn't face me, he loses even more. (…) He is running away from me. What can I say, what can I do? I just want to promote good performances for the UFC,” said Covington.
With the intention of taking a personal problem to the octagon, Colby seeks to increase the promotion of a possible fight against Jorge. Former friends, the athletes have developed a rivalry that began after 'Caos' disbanded from 'American Top Team' (ATT).
“He needs to accept this fight. It makes sense in 'The Ultimate Fighter'. Let's resurrect that show. The program has been boring. There is no more entertainment. Let’s bring him back”, he concluded.
After failing in his second attempt to win the welterweight belt against Kamaru Usman, Covington needs to win again if he wants a new chance to play for the title he dreams of. For the athlete, Masvidal, who has gained popularity in recent years, is a name that can help him regain his status as a challenger.
