Prior to Dan Lambert's zero-tolerance ban on trash-talking fellow teammates at ATT, Colby Covington had remarkably unkind things to say about Joanna Jedrzejczyk on a recent Eurobash podcast.
Later on the same podcast, Jedrzejczyk took as high a road as she was able.
“He’s not a very polite or a smart guy, so he doesn’t know what to do," said Jedrzejczyk, as transcribed by Peter Carroll for MMA Fighting. "He needs other people to make himself big, so I don’t want to talk about this guy, you know. I can tell you guys that it’s a shame for us... it’s a shame that he’s talking crap like this. It’s all ugly things. He’s a dirty guy and I don’t want to talk about, I just don’t want to talk about it.”
“He’s lying, you know. I don’t know why he’s such a big liar and I just don’t want to talk about. I don’t want to waste my time talking about him.”
Post ATT trash-talking ban, Jorge Masvidal buried the hatchet, in Covington.
I like mas. I understand why hes so upset. I think that since colby is the one that started the statements he should be the first to extend a public apology. Just my two cents.

Love him or hate him, Colby's bank account has gotten bigger from all the shit talking. I don't know why people get so sensitive, he'll even go as far as to say he's just doing it to hype a fight. People hated Chael Sonnen at first, and now he's loved by almost all. It's all act. The sensitive masses play right into it and make these guys wealthier. Remember, the more offended and outraged people get, the more you're actually helping people like Colby out. Controversy and recognition puts asses in the seats and drives up pay-per-view sales. Bottom line. Many MMA fighters we have seen be quieter and respectful and humble and even though they were great, they never made a lot of money. In 5 years when he's got multiple houses and sports cars and living his best life, he's really not going to give a shit what you think about him lol.
