Colby Covington's appearance at the UFC 268 pre-fight press conference delivered on its promise of controversy. The outspoken welterweight got into a verbal altercation with reporter Josh Cohen, popularly known as the 'pink suit guy.'

Cohen asked Colby Covington a demeaning question about his alleged broken jaw in 2019. Predictably, the question didn't sit too well with 'Chaos', who was furious with Cohen. He replied:

"One sec, one sec, you look like a bottle of Pepto-Bismol and it makes sense because you got diarrhea in the mouth, son! Get out of my arena! Get out of here! Throw him out of here! Get out of my building!"

Cohen's question was:

"...In two days, you get a chance to step inside that cage and they will the lock door and you will attempt to take that belt violently from that man by any means necessary. My question to you is, if you were to somehow lose this fight, will you allow an independent medical team to look at your X-rays from 2019 to determine once and for all, that man broke your face?"

As history suggests, Cohen's questions often are put in place to instigate fighters.

Josh Cohen rose to overnight fame after the UFC 264 pre-fight press conference when he questioned MMA superstar Conor McGregor leading up to his fight against Dustin Poirier.

After his seemingly demeaning question, McGregor called Cohen a "rat" and countered him with insults.
