Colby Covington has himself another feud.
The always talkative welterweight veteran made his presence known backstage at UFC 314 this past Saturday at Kaseya Center in Miami when he got into a verbal altercation with Paddy Pimblett. Covington and Pimblett exchanged words, with Covington questioning the quality of Pimblett’s opponents and the Englishman firing back at Covington by pointing out his recent losing streak.
Pimblett competed in the co-main event of UFC 314, putting on a dominant performance against Michael Chandler capped off by a third-round TKO. He improved to 7-0 in the UFC.
Speaking to ESPN afterwards, Pimblett called Covington “irrelevant,” prompting Covington to respond in kind via his YouTube channel.
“Paddy wanted to say some shit when I was walking by, so I had to confront him,” Covington said. “I had to let him know he’s a little b*tch boy. The combined losing streak of his last three opponents, look it up, guys, it’s 13 losses in a row. He wants to act like he’s relevant and he’s a star, he’s a f*cking nobody, bro. You’re a nobody. You’ve never headlined an event. You’ve never done anything worthy. You’ve never been a top contender. You’re a f*cking scrub.
“The only reason people f*cking care about you is because you’re an Ellen Degeneres-looking f*cking scrub and, to be honest, it’s because you’ve got a bowl cut and an English accent, that’s the only reason people want to look at you.”
