Jorge Masvidal addresses Colby Covington's alleged "brain injury" claims

Jorge Masvidal has weighed in on the ongoing debate about a potential title shot for his rival, Colby Covington. Masvidal's comments referred to the controversial claims made by Covington about suffering a brain injury following an assault last year, insinuating that he believes these claims were not genuine.

According to 'Gamebred', Covington's claims of a brain injury could have been a tactic to gain sympathy or deflect criticism. His comments come at a time when Covington is being touted as a potential contender for the UFC welterweight title, a prospect that Masvidal appears to be against.

Speaking during a recent pre-fight media day appearance, Masvidal expressed his opinion on the matter, he stated:

"I currently got three felonies, cause of this b*tch Colby says I gave him brain injury, so how the f*ck you gonna fight for any title ? The UFC's gonna get suied if that guy goes in there something like that. Cause supposedly, allegedly I didn't do sh*t."
