Former Interim UFC Welterweight Title Holder Colby Covington commented on the decision of his former rival Jorge Masvidal hang gloves on a nail.

“I robbed him of his self-confidence. Since then, Jorge has not been the same fighter. In the last fight, he just went out for a fee.

This is a fake resignation. We know there are people in the UFC who haven't actually retired. He'll just walk out of the USADA testing pool to get high on steroids and then come back. He's too dumb to make money in any way other than fighting. I guarantee you, he will come back for a check, ”MMA Junkie quotes Covington.

Recall that on April 8 at UFC 287, Masvidal lost on points to Gilbert Burns. After the fight, the 38-year-old American announced his retirement.
