Covington: "Oliveira is mentally weak."

Dmitriy Kel July 2, 2024, 1:54 a.m.

Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington has once again stated his desire to fight former lower division belt holder Charles Oliveira.

"Charles Oliveira is taller than me and weighs more than me. This guy is just a cheater who intentionally races to lightweight to have an advantage over his opponents because he's not confident. Charles is mentally weak. He's lined up with those guys who say, "I need big fights to create a legacy. And I want to move up to welterweight." Well, then, Charles, take the fight with me. I'm the best fighter you can fight right now. I'm the king of Brazil, the king of Miami and a favorite of Donald Trump," - quotes the American Low Kick MMA.

Recall that Covington has been idle since last December, when he lost defeated Leon Edwards on points.
