MIAMI – Amid an ongoing court case in which he filed claims of brain injury, Colby Covington is in line for a UFC title shot against welterweight champion Leon Edwards.
The math on that does not add up to UFC contender Jorge Masvidal, the defendant who currently faces felony charges for an alleged attack on Covington outside of a Miami steakhouse in March 2022.
“I currently have three felonies because this b*tch Colby says I gave him a brain injury, so how the f*ck is he going to fight for any title, is what I want to know,” Masvidal told reporters including MMA Junkie at a UFC 287 pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “The UFC is going to get sued if that guy goes in there and something like that happens. Because supposedly, allegedly because I didn’t do sh*t, he says I gave him a brain injury. I didn’t do sh*t to him.”
