Colby Covington made things even more personal between the two ahead of Masvidal's UFC 261 clash against Kamaru Usman. Covington accused 'Gamebred' of cheating on his alleged ex-wife Maritza Masvidal.
It's safe to say that the move wasn't taken too well by Masvidal as he recently slammed 'Chaos' for bringing his ex-wife's name into the mix. During an interview with Ariel Helwani, the 37-year-old said:
"I'm gonna f**ing break your [Colby's] face man. Everything that you said, we're gonna have to see what's up when we get in the cage, you know. This is an individual that obviously, I don't think anybody likes him, anybody... Somebody's talking about ex-teammates' wives and stuff like for what? You're gonna fight the dude or the chick? What is is it? You know you're confused."

"Yeah, absolutely there was, but the timing didn't work out."
