WATCH: UFC Star Colby Covington Cheekily Kicks a Kid in the Gym

With UFC 272 inching closer, Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal are busy with their preparations as well as interviews. However, it seems like ‘Chaos’ is having a fun time training. In a new video released by the promotion on YouTube, Covington was seen interacting with children in the gym.

The children were wearing protective gear. Covington cheekily kicked a kid lightly, causing him to fall. The young boy got back up on his feet and took off after his friend.

The American MMA fighter was also heard talking about his past friendship with Masvidal. The whole situation for him is ‘bittersweet’. This is because he gets to fight ‘Gamebred’, but thinking about ‘what could have been’ if they were still friends, is something that perhaps comes to his mind.
