"An ordinary sheep shepherd." Covington drove hard on Makhachev

Controversial ex-interim welterweight champion Colby Covington burst out with another portion of trash talk addressed to the holder of a full title in the division below Islam Makhacheva.

“Islam understands that I will cut him like a nut. It will not be able to withstand real American steel. He is an empty place, an ordinary sheep shepherd.

He can fight with sheep or with lightweights because they are babies, but he will not stand up to real American wrestling, the toughest American steel of the highest class. He can talk, but when it comes to signing the agreement, his manager will do everything possible to hide it from me,” the American said on Submission Radio.
