Colby Covington has never been one to mince his words and practice diplomacy. He recently offered his two cents on Dustin Poirier's UFC 264 victory against Conor McGregor. Much in tune with his character, 'Chaos' had some choice words for the American southpaw.While in conversation with Kacper Rosolowski and Denis Shkuratov, Colby Covington nuked Poirier, saying 'Diamond' was barely a household name before his trilogy with McGregor. "You should show that guy [Conor McGregor] some respect. You're a jobber, you're a nobody. No one would care about you if it wasn't for Conor," said Colby Covington..@ColbyCovMMA says Dustin Poirier should show “some respect” to McGregor after “fluke” #UFC264 win:“If I do see you in the streets of south Florida, I guarantee I’m not holding back, and I’m gonna drop you on the f*cking concrete, you piece of shit.” pic.twitter.com/mHDmkklwKd— Submission Radio (@SubmissionRadio) July 28, 2021Is Colby Covington right to claim Conor McGregor made Dustin Poirier's career?Conor McGregor has always been regarded as the cash cow of the UFC. He has never shied away from bringing that to the fore either.
