UFC News: Bob Menery of NELK Boys reacts to Colby Covington's alleged brawl with Jorge Masvidal

Bob Menery of the NELK Boys expressed his "disappointment" in Jorge Masvidal after reports emerged that 'Gamebred' got into a fight with Colby Covington at a Miami restaurant.

The social media star was apparently dining with Covington when the incident took place. Menery took to social media to address the issue, writing:

Moments later, Menery sent out another tweet, saying he never had an issue with Masvidal until recently. Judging by the tone of his tweet, he is seemingly insinuating that 'Gamebred' was the instigator.

Earlier today, Andy Slater of Fox Sports 640 South Florida reported that Covington and Masvidal got into a fight at Papi Steak in Miami. The journalist added that the police were called to break up the melee.

Based on his Instagram posts, it appears that Menery was indeed with the multi-time UFC welterweight title challenger around the time the brawl went down. He posted photos and reels of himself partying with Covington in Miami.

There doesn't appear to be footage of the recent altercation between UFC superstars Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal.

However, Masvidal and his manager, Malki Kawa, both implied that 'Gamebred' got the better of 'Chaos'. The BMF titleholder recently posted a video of himself challenging Covington to show what his face looked like after the alleged fight.

Meanwhile, Kawa posted a series of tweets that appear to be in relation to the brawl. He also claimed that Covington was "missing a tooth" after the rivals came to blows.

Covington and Masvidal just recently fought in the main event of UFC 272 earlier this month. After five rounds, 'Chaos' had his hand raised following a dominant performance.
