Covington insulted Pimblett by suggesting he "get on your knees and smell the groin guard"

Former contender for the UFC welterweight championship belt Colby Covington spoke unflatteringly about the organization’s lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett.

“I laugh at all of this because all these people — there’s nothing about them. They just talk, but they cannot master the path. Paddy... If it weren't for his bowl haircut and accent, no one would care. The only reason people like him is his bowl haircut and accent. He's not even a good fighter. He will never be in the top 30. The closest he will come to fighting for the championship belt is when he gets down on his knees and sniffs my groin guard.”
