‘Chaos’ said – “Mike Perry is a dirtbag. I have nothing to say to him, you know. That guy, just the biggest piece of sh*t. Trash in all sports. I mean, he completely, you know, threw our gym under the bus. Didn’t pay his gym percentage fee”.

‘Chaos’ said – “We opened the doors to Mike Perry, you know. We didn’t want to let him here because he’s been through 10 different jumps, gyms disruptive, you know, just causing bad energy within these gyms. So, we gave him a home when no one else wanted him”.

To conclude talking about Perry, Covington said, “Come pay the gym fees, man”.

It’s clear by now that Covington dislikes Perry and won’t stop taking a dig at Perry until he pays his dues to the gym. It’s not the first time Covington took a dig at his teammate. One popular name that comes to mind is Jorge Masvidal. Covington and Perry might become rivals the same way Covington and Masvidal became rivals.
