Colby Covington is not interested for his former UFC opponent Jorge Masvidal locking horns with Nate Diaz in a boxing match.
Masvidal and Diaz had first collided met in the main event of UFC 244 when “Gamebred” claimed the inaugural BMF title via doctor’s stoppage. Now, they will once again face each other but in the boxing ring at the KIA Forum in Inglewood, California on June 1.
The rematch with Diaz will be Masvidal’s boxing debut and his first fight since retiring at UFC 287.
Colby Covington comments on Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz
It seems that Covington is not expecting much to see either man put on an impressive performance.
“Two complete wash outs of the UFC that are 40 years old and should be in retirement homes.” Covington said on Submission Radio. “They’re gonna go out there, they’re sloppy, old f***ing dudes. They can’t perform in the UFC no more at this high, elite level like me…They both f***ing got 10 seconds of fame in the UFC, living off these fights from 10 years ago.”
Covington had beaten Masvidal in a grudge match in the main event of UFC 272 and their rivalry went on even after that meeting, when “Gamebred” assaulted the former interim titleholder outside of a steakhouse in Miami.
