Jorge Masvidal fights Kamaru Usman this weekend at UFC 261 as the duo rematches with the undisputed welterweight gold on the line. Ahead of this fight, Masvidal’s former best friend and training partner, Colby Covington, took to social media to troll ‘Gamebred’. ‘Chaos’ posted a picture of him alongside who he claimed was Masvidal’s wife.
“Out here playing games with Mrs. Masvidal 🎮 Great catching up with you Maritza!” Covington wrote in his recent post.
However, the lady present in the photo was not Iman Kawa, who was widely known as Masvidal’s wife. The Miami native keeps his personal life private and doesn’t reveal things about the same in public.
According to ‘Chaos’ Maritza is the mother of Jorge’s children, not Iman Kawa. Covington trashed the media for saying Kawa is Masvidal’s wife and said she is actually the sister of Masvidal’s managers.
Covington claimed that Maritza is actually legally married to Masvidal and has two kids with him, but surprisingly no information about her is available on the internet.
Jorge Masvidal vs Colby Covington: an inevitable fight?
Covington and Masvidal were expected to clash inside the Octagon this year after their relationship took a major dip last year. From being roommates and training partners, the duo went off on each other to exchange harsh words. It seems a matter of time before they eventually fight.
If Masvidal wins this weekend, Covington will be in line to challenge him for the belt. It makes for a great storyline and will add to the anticipation of the fans.
So, a clash is imminent given both fighters are looking to establish their authority over the division. Also, having trained with each other for years, both men will know their opponent’s strengths and weaknesses. So, overall this fight most certainly makes the most sense in near future. For now, one will be curious to know more about Masvidal and his wife after Covington’s post.
