Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington is hoping for a fight with rival Jorge Masvidal and suggested that the pair coach the upcoming 30th season of The Ultimate Fighter as well.
Covington spoke with Submission Radio's Denis Shkuratov and Kacper Rosolowski where he went after Masvidal and said the former two-time UFC welterweight title challenger should put up his BMF belt in a bout between the two that he thinks should be in Miami after a coaching stint on TUF.
“That guy doesn’t want to fight me,” Covington said (h/t MMA Fighting) “He’s going to lose all the street cred one way or another. If he fights me, he loses it. If he doesn’t fight me, he loses it even worse. I know that guy doesn’t want to fight me. He’s trying to duck me at every corner, every step. So, what can I say? What can I do? I just want to put on good performances for the UFC. He’ll be backed into a corner, he’ll need to take this fight. It makes sense on The Ultimate Fighter. Let’s revive that show. That show has been so boring, stale. There’s no entertainment value on that show anymore. So, let’s bring it back, man. This is the fight that has to happen after he keeps running his mouth. I’m a coward? I’m fragile? I’m this and I’m that? No, you’re the b*tch. You’re the fragile, brittle little b*tch. I’m the king of Miami. Everybody knows that I run these streets here and the 305 is mine. I occupy this whole territory. No one can say any different. And he knows that. So, show up or just shut your f*cking mouth b*tch, and let real men do f*cking work. Because I’m still gonna be here. Put that f*cking whack ass BMF belt back on the f*cking line. Everybody knows who the real baddest motherf*cker in the sport is. It’s Colby Chaos Covington. Bring that f*cking belt out and let’s f*cking do this shit. Do the Ultimate Fighter and whatever, tape for four weeks, six weeks, eight weeks, and run this fight in Miami.”
