Standouts in the welterweight division (up to 77kg.), Masvidal and Covington maintained, for years, a brotherly relationship. The partnership, however, fell apart after Colby left the team, due to a bad relationship with training partners.
For months, the fighters have been exchanging barbs in the press and social media. Now, the time has come to resolve differences.
Current number one in the ranking of the group led by Kamaru Usman, Covington is looking to get back on the winning track. The last challenger for the division title, 'Caos' had already expressed interest in facing Jorge after losing to the champion in the UFC 268.
An audience phenomenon in his fights, Masvidal is also trying to recover from the blow he suffered against Kamaru. Today, 'Jesus das Ruas' is sixth in the category.
