Colby Covington blasts Tony Ferguson ahead of UFC 296 Return: ‘You still seeing ghosts, kidnapping your kids?

However, the most interesting, and perhaps bizarre moment of the press event came when Covington exchanged a series of verbal jabs with Tony Ferguson before quickly deciding they were going to go back to being bros.

It all began as Colby Covington was dominating the mic and admonishing his fellow fighters on the panel.
