Infamous former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington criticized Dustin Poirier's behavior after defeating Conor McGregor at UFC 264.

“Dustin showed his true self after the fight. Obviously, this was an accident. It wasn't a knockout, decision, or submission win, but he stands pompous in front of the injured guy who made his career and gave him the opportunity to have big fights. Obviously, he uses his wife as a cover because he knows that he is a shitty person and wants to appear as a good family man, father and husband.

"It's a personal rivalry, we trained together for 10 years. This confrontation has deep roots, and I hope one day everything will be resolved in the octagon. But if not, then fans will know who daddy is. Dustin's not her father - it's me,” Covington said in an interview with Combat Sports on Fanatics View.
