“They saw all the potential and a big fight there. And Dustin’s a p*ssy. He is scared, he ran away from the challenge. Now we know that he is all talk, he is no walk”, Covington added.

‘Chaos’ aimed at Khamzat Chimaev as well!

The American fighter continued to recount his willingness to face any challenge, including a potential matchup against Khamzat Chimaev. However, Covington’s tone grew more scathing as he took aim at Chimaev’s perceived lack of professionalism and courage.

In a scorching assessment of Chimaev’s character, Covington labeled him as scared and unprofessional. “Then it was Chimaev. Then I was ready to end the hype with Chimaev. But he is scared, he is unprofessional, and he is a little dork. He talks all this big game online. But he don’t talk inside the octagon. He doesn’t sign contracts and be a professional.”
