Colby Covington

British UFC welterweight Michael Page said that he would like to teach Colby Covington a lesson for provocative statements before the fight with Leon Edwards.

Recall that the scandalous American allowed himself to affect the late father of the Briton.

"I hate Covington. I would be happy to knock out all his teeth with a kick. Colby's a phony. People nowadays talk about all sorts of things before a fight - mention wives, moms and fathers..... Colby liked it. I don't like it. I'm a martial artist, and that's not the way it works.

Colby's trying too hard to stay in the public eye. But I prefer fighters to prove themselves as decent athletes. I'm feeling good about myself after my previous fight, ready to move on. People seem to get injured as soon as they are offered a fight against me. No one is ready for some reason," MMA Fighting quotes Page as saying.

Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington has announced that he plans to fight his next fight at UFC 303, scheduled for June 29 in Las Vegas, USA.

Irish UFC welterweight division prospect Ian Harry has once again reached out to former title challenger Colby Covington, urging him to sign a contract.

"Everybody understands what fight should be next for me. It's not a secret to anybody. All we need is for Colby to sign the damn contract and say yes. Come on, Colby. When you talk so much shit, you need to be held accountable for your words," Sportskeeda quoted Garry as saying.

Earlier, Harry has already talked about the fact that he signed the contract for the fight, but Colby did not do it.

Recall, in his last fight Covington lost by unanimous decision of judges to Leon Edwards.

UFC welterweight Ian Harry revealed in a recent interview when and who he wants his next bouts to be against.

"Let's make the fight against Colby Covington in the summer. Because I don't like to fight when it's cold. I wouldn't fight in New York in November just because it's freezing cold. Unless I would be offered a fight against Kamaru Usman or Shavkat Rakhmonov in the co-main event of the night. Yes, it would interest me," Harry said in an interview with MMA Fighting.

Earlier Harry said that he had already signed a contract to fight Covington, but Colby, according to the Irishman, is in no hurry to do the same.

The saga of a possible bout between Ian Harry and former UFC welterweight title challenger Colby Covington has gotten a sequel. As recently as yesterday, the Irish prospect posted on social media that he had already agreed to fight Colby, but the latter was in no hurry to do so.
