Khabib Nurmagomedov: Colby Covington should be blacklisted in UFC after Jorge Masvidal’s arrest

Khabib Nurmagomedov thinks Colby Covington got what he deserved.

On Monday, Jorge Masvidal allegedly launched a sneak attack and punched former-best-friend-turned-foe Covington multiple times outside a Miami hotspot. “Gamebred” was detained by police Wednesday evening, and now Masvidal faces a pair of charges, including one count of aggravated battery resulting in great bodily harm and one count of criminal mischief.

Nurmagomedov, a former longtime UFC lightweight champion, is no stranger to extracurricular action involving a rival. He was suspended for his post-fight brawl with Conor McGregor at UFC 229 in 2018, and also was the target of an infamous bus attack from the Irishman in the months prior to their grudge match.
