Colby Covington Avoids Awkward Run-in with Themba Gorimbo at UFC Pi, Gets Respons

Colby Covington Narrowly Avoided Running Into Former Teammate TheMba Gorimbo.

COVINGTON (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) and Gorimbo (14-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) Used to Train Together at Mma Masters in Miami, With Gorimbo Previously Crediting Conington.

However, The Pair Recently Had a Falling Out When Gorimbo Claimed that Covington Kicked Him Out of the UFC Performance Institute in the Lead-Up to His Fight. Since Switched Gyms for Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas.

In a recent Twitch Stream on his YouTube Channel, Covington Almost Ran Into Gorimbo at the UFC Pi But But Decides to Take a U-Turn (H/T Home of Fight).

“YOU SAW WHO WAS DOWN THERE? The UNGRATEFUL MOTHERF*Cker Who We We used to Feed, ”Conington Said. “I Think We Should Just Go F*CKING Train AROUND HIM ACTUALLY.”
