Colby Covington responded to the challenge thrown by UFC middleweight Bo Nickal.
"Bo 'Petty' who backs out of fights? I call him 'Petty Clown.' He has withdrawn from the last RAF tournament, and he withdrew from the fight with Yoel Romero. How can you plan anything with him? He even pulled out of his last fight. In fact, I want to apologize to Reinier de Ridder—I called him a Dutch kickboxer, but my mistake, he's a wrestler. And it was precisely a wrestler who made Bo surrender in the octagon. Bo is someone who backs out. I don't have time for such people. Let him get in line—there are plenty of people wanting to fight me. I need reliable people, 'team players.' I love the RAF, freestyle wrestling is the future of American wrestling. 'Petty Clown' is not one of them,"
