Colby Covington Sounds Off

“There’s only two fights to make in the welterweight division right now. It’s either me vs Marty Fake Newsman or Me vs Street Judas Masvidal. If it can’t be that, then what about Doofus Dustin Poirier?

He was telling the media: ‘Oh, next time I see Colby on-site’… It’s on-site motherf**ker. Then let’s go meet in the Octagon.”

‘Chaos’ is no stranger to vicious callouts. He has become a heel in MMA ever since his post-fight callout at UFC Fight Night: Sao Paulo. Ever since then he has never looked back. This villain persona has paid dividends for Covington.

Covington said, “I’ve seen that guy multiple times, he didn’t try to fight me. He’ll get put down real quick. He’ll never be able to look at his daughter the same way again. And His wife will probably divorce him cause he’ll be ugly as fu** after I’m done with him.”
