There will be no love-lost in the Octagon between the feuding pair, with bitterness and betrayal at the heart of their hugely anticipated showdown.
Las Vegas will play host to the clash and Covington is already in Sin City, renting out a stunning mansion as he and his coaches look to relax in luxury ahead of fight night.
The Californian-born fighter gave UFC Embedded viewers a guided tour of the property which will be his home over the next week.
Covington starts the reveal with the ever-popular games room, where there's pool on demand and a well-stocked drinks cabinet.
'Chaos' reveals: "My coaches got in from Florida on [Sunday], they played right away.
"They were betting some money, it got sorta heated."
'IT DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS'
The stunning digs also features its own cinema room, complete with four huge sofas, a massive projected TV and surround sound speakers.
But it's outside where Nevada's beauty really takes over, with Colby inviting viewers into a poolside paradise.
There's a barbecue area for rustling up a feast ahead of fight night, complete with a heated pool and multiple sun loungers.
Covington feels right at home in his rented space, saying: "It doesn't get any better than this.
"There's beautiful facilities. Palm trees that make us feel like we're in Miami again.
"It's got the backdrop of Las Vegas, it's just a beautiful house.
"I've let you guys in, but now you gotta get the f*** out of here. I gotta get to training, I've gotta go lose some weight."
LONG-RUNNING FEUD
Covington also gave fans a peek into his wardrobe for Saturday night's scrap, including a 'King of Miami' suit and the US flag he'll wear on his ring walk.
He explained: "You know this [suit] is gonna p*** Jorge off!
"Every time I go around Miami, people think I’m the modern-day Scarface. I’m the king of Miami. So [here is my] suit.
"[And] this is my flag I’m gonna walk out with on Saturday night.
"All the Miami Beach Police Department officers signed it for me."

And there's been no shortage of words exchanged in a fiery fight week, with the fighters seemingly ready to put on a war.
Covington said: "I don’t want to knock [Masvidal] out.
"I’m going to hurt him so bad, you’re not going to be the same person after I’m done with you.
"I guarantee you you’re going into a coma, b****.”
