Covington, recently reacted to the news of the fight announcement. On Instagram, ‘Chaos’ wrote:

Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal are coming off a Kamaru Usman loss
Colby Covington’s last fight was against Kamaru Usman at UFC 269. The pair squared off in a rematch for the welterweight title.
After 5 rounds of back and forth, and Covington putting on a more inspired performance than he did the first time, Usman earned a hard-fought win.
Masvidal, on the other hand, had a title fight in his last outing as well. He took on ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ and was knocked out for the first time in his UFC career.
Covington-Masvidal could be for the BMF belt, since ‘Gamebred’ is the one who currently owns it.
