One thing is quite clear, this rivalry will turn into yet another fight, which could take place in the latter part of 2022 or next year. Shortly after the incident, the UFC star shared a post on Twitter where he targeted Covington once again.

In a now-deleted tweet, ‘Gamebred’ said, “Calling this, ‘Show your face challenge’, you know? Um, what’s up? I’m from Dade county, you talk that sh** you gotta back it up. That’s how my city rolls, man.

In a follow-up tweet, he took yet another dig at his nemesis.

The first fight between the two concluded merely a few weeks ago at UFC 272. At the T-Mobile Arena, Covington displayed a dominant performance and won each round to claim a unanimous decision. However, even after the bout, it was clear that the duo was far from done.

With the feud escalating beyond the realm of the octagon, it would not be too far-fetched to assume that they may share the octagon for a second fight.
