A playful segment on UFC Tonight resulted in some not-so-playful words being exchanged between welterweight contender Colby Covington and FOX Sports host Kenny Florian.
The two became chippy on social media after Florian and UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley were asked to break down Covington’s path to a title shot on Wednesday. Florian suggested that Covington defeat Darren Till and Stephen Thompson before challenging Woodley, while Woodley mentioned both of those fighters as well as Kamaru Usman. He also jokingly added former champions Carlos Newton and Pat Miletich:
Suffice to say, Covington was not amused by the segment, and he took to Twitter to insult both Woodley and Florian.
