Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington isn't giving up trying to get a bout with Hamzat Chimaev.
Jorge Masvidal. The former UFC fighter, once again spoke unflatteringly about the promotion's former welterweight title challenger Colby Covington.
"This guy will say anything. This guy wears skirts but doesn't tell anybody about it and falls asleep in a thong. Maybe he should be more open about himself. There aren't really PED tests anymore because USADA is dissolved, so here's another damn theory for you. Colby will just say anything to get people to say his stupid name, but ever since I "allegedly" took his soul outside of Papi's Steakhouse, he hasn't been posting or talking about me. He doesn't talk shit about me," Masvidal told Vlad TV.
Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington denies that the promotion's management offered him a fight against undefeated prospect Ian Harry.
British UFC welterweight Michael Page said that he would like to teach Colby Covington a lesson for provocative statements before the fight with Leon Edwards.
Recall that the scandalous American allowed himself to affect the late father of the Briton.
"I hate Covington. I would be happy to knock out all his teeth with a kick. Colby's a phony. People nowadays talk about all sorts of things before a fight - mention wives, moms and fathers..... Colby liked it. I don't like it. I'm a martial artist, and that's not the way it works.
Colby's trying too hard to stay in the public eye. But I prefer fighters to prove themselves as decent athletes. I'm feeling good about myself after my previous fight, ready to move on. People seem to get injured as soon as they are offered a fight against me. No one is ready for some reason," MMA Fighting quotes Page as saying.
Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington has announced that he plans to fight his next fight at UFC 303, scheduled for June 29 in Las Vegas, USA.
