LAS VEGAS – The relationship of friends-turned-enemies Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal is well-documented.
There’s a lot of pent-up vitriol inside both men. At the UFC 272 pre-fight news conference Thursday, they had the opportunity to release it publicly toward one another face-to-face for the first time.
Insults ranging from “d*cksniffer” to “deadbeat f*cking dad” flew often. Police officers, promotion security, and UFC president Dana White lined the stage, ready to intercept any move toward a physical altercation. At one point, all mentioned intervened and sponsor objects including water bottles were removed from the table to avoid potentially being used as a weapon.
