Masvidal attacked Covington because of the words about the children

Colby Covington, a former contender for the UFC welterweight title, told why Jorge Masvidal attacked him.

“He was wearing a hoodie, a medical mask. Perhaps he was wearing a hat. But, I saw his eyes, I saw his hair. He only braids his hair for fights. And then he told me that I shouldn't have talked about his children...," the fighter said.

It is worth noting that at one of their last press conferences, Covington called Masvidal a bad father.

Recall that Masvidal attacked Covington in March of this year, knocking out his tooth.
