10 Friends Turned Foes In The UFC

9. Jorge Masvidal And Colby Covington

This won't be the last time you see Colby Covington's name appear on this list. It appears that overnight Covington has gone from a humble team player to an outspoken ass and he's lost a couple of mates in the process.

Baddest Motherf*cka challenger, Jorge Masvidal, was one of those close brothers that Covington severed ties with and the latter opted to take aim at his former teammate in a recent Twitter lashing. Covington called out Masvidal as 'dumb and desperate' and poked fun at the BMF title match and suggested it be known as the 'Journeyman' title, instead.

Covington's other former pal Dustin Poirier claimed that the man had become a 'sell-out', due to his willingness to throw his friends under the bus for a slice of publicity. Yet, it seems as though Masvidal's beef with the man comes down to the cold hard truth that Covington 'ripped off' their coach and 'didn't pay him' after his win against Rafael Dos Anjos.

Masvidal now claims that when he enters the gym, 'guess who leaves right away through the back door?', suggesting that Covington isn't willing to cause a scene when the cameras aren't switched on.

Going from sleeping on each other's couches to now being unable to be in the same gym without the chance of a scrap, if the outcome involves most of your former buddies wanting to kill you, the price of being a real life heel may not be worth the investment.
