Colby Covington, the former interim UFC Welterweight champion, is training at MMA Masters Gyms in Florida after his departure from ATT. In a recent interview with MMA reporter Helen Yee, Colby spoke about the Nick Diaz fight, and claims he was about to face Nick Diaz at Madison Square Garden.

Covington said, “It left off like I remember two years ago he was ready to come back and fight. He asked the UFC to fight they said hey we got Colby Covington here. He’s the interim champ and you know the time Woodley was hiding from me he didn’t want a unified title.

“So I was ready to step, and they made that fight. I verbally agreed to fight Nick Diaz at Madison Square Garden. You know he verbally agreed on one day and then like a couple of days later, he backed out. He said he doesn’t want to fight so Nick Diaz is done man, the guy is washed up.”

Colby Covington goes hard on Diaz as he tells that Diaz backed off from the fight. He thinks, Nick Diaz is done and will not fight again.

He is 37 years old and will not get any better. Covington knows it as he said, “I mean you can see in his body language I heard from around that you know. He is just partying every weekend he is not training man he is doing ecstasy he is doing all these drugs. He is drinking himself stupid every single weekend and we know how much weed he smokes.

“So he doesn’t have any brain cells left and honestly, I’d feel bad fighting him along because I don’t want to take the few remaining brain cells he does have left in his brain.”
