Chandler responded to Covington's attacks: "Fighters don't sue fighters for fighting."

“I would answer Covington, but I’m afraid he’ll have to call an ambulance and a lawyer. I have enough to do. I don't need a bogus libel suit. Fighters don’t sue fighters for fighting,” Michael said.

Let us remember that earlier Jorge Masvidal attacked Covington in one of the Miami restaurants. Jorge was arrested and faced a serious prison sentence. But, in the end, he agreed to a deal with the investigation and was released.
