Joe Asks Jorge Masvidal About Colby Covington Conflict

What happened with you and Kobe? He's a bitch, bro, and he showed his true colors for the money, for the pay-per-view. He talked about my kids, my family, for... to maybe sell extra pay-per-views. Were you a friend of his? No, not friends. I was fucking his... everything. His mentor. I was already in the strike force. I had competed against Gilbert Melendez. I was an established pro when he came over to the American top team. I was living up at American top team. I had an apartment over there for about a year and change. He broke his hand. His girlfriend had fucking kicked him out of the place because he had given her fucking herpes and shit. No, I'm dead-ass serious. So he had like nowhere to fucking live. So he asked if he could crash on my couch. I was like, yeah, fuck it, bro. We're both on this journey together. We train together. We play poker together. Fucking this and that. So I basically fed this dude for a fucking year, lived on my couch, didn't give me a fucking dollar because he didn't have a job. I had a fucking broken hand. It's all documented. It's all him on YouTube saying, Hori Maslow, that was my best friend. If it wasn't for Hori, I wouldn't be here. And this and that. And then, you know, I'm at 155. So then I come up to 170 and I start stealing a lot of, not stealing, but I started getting a lot of shine from myself. A lot of eyeballs start looking at me and immediately instead of like, yeah, we're fucking boys. We could fight or whatever the fuck. He turns into something fucking ugly, you know, like everything that I did for you. You're trying to use it against me, especially my kids. He knows the relationship I have with my kids and you're trying to use that against me. You're a fucking piece of shit. But besides before all that happened, I really knew he wasn't a good person because my striking coach, this is when we cut ties me and him. My striking coach trained him from his amateur all the way to his Rafael dos Anjos fight. And he did a handshake deal with them, 5% on your fights. You know, if you make $1,000, you make $500,000. 5% is when you're going to pay me because that's what Joel Romero pays me. That's what Hori Maslow pays me. That's what all the guys that trained with him, pay him, you know, and he's like accessible at all times. He will drive an hour with this way, drive an hour back that way and just give you all his knowledge. And that's that's what he wanted, you know, and they shook hands on it. Soon as Kobe made money. What did he do? Didn't pay my coach. So since then I was like, bro, I want to fucking take a bite to his fucking neck. And my coach is like, don't do it, bro. You you you fight him and that way that's how you'll get him for both of us. You know, I didn't get him that time, but I promise you before my career is over. I'm going to fucking murder Kobe in the cage legally, legally, legally. What happened illegally? Allegedly, a lot of things have alleged. I don't know. They're saying a lot of things, but it's all allegedly because I shit man. He's a great word. Yeah, I don't know what they're talking about, man. But legally in the cage in the UFC, I'm going to fucking snatch his soul one way or another. And that's also something that, you know, losing up piece of shit like that. You know, like if you let somebody come into you and you share something with me, like man, something is very dear to me. It's this moment where my mom blah blah blah and this and that. And then I would use that because me and you had a falling out. It really shows your fucking character. Like you're a fucking piece of shit, you know, and that's why nobody fucks with this guy. Nobody fucks with this guy in any level in any accord, you know. Well, it's a crazy John Jones can't stand him. He had a very similar thing with John Jones. He changed who he was when the UFC was about to cut him and he decided to become like a wrestling heel. Shit on a whole country just for for what? Like I worked though. I mean, the thing about it is it's kind of genius in the fact that it really did get people paying attention to him in a negative way. But you know, I feel that he could have just been beating people, put more time into the craft rather than Twitter and trying to copy other heels. And it would have been fine. Like this guy just, oh, what is Connor doing today? Let me go do that on the cheaper, shittier way, you know, like be fucking you, bro. You know, just fucking go out there and beat dudes up and say what you got to say. And it'll come to you. It took me a while to get here. You know, I had to fucking knock out and beat numerous fucking people, ex world champions to get here. But it'll come. You don't have to sell out for the fucking dollar. What was it like fighting him? I want to fucking kill him. I want to hurt him. But it wasn't the best version of me, bro. It just wasn't the best version of me. The end, you know, in this part is what I love about it. It's like what happened happened and everything else is bullshit, right? So until we fight again, nobody will get to see that better version of me. But I promise you, Joe, before I close this chapter in my life in MMA, I will have competed against this guy. I'm gonna fucking take his soul, bro. I just know it after being those five rounds in there with him. And that was the best that he had. And that was nowhere near my best at that time for different reasons. I know I could fucking end this guy.
