Colby Covington Rips Michael Chiesa, Calls Him Ultimate Example of What Not to Be: ‘Don’t Ride Off Other People’s Jocks ‘

Colby Covington says don’t be like Michael Chiesa.

Chiesa and ‘Chaos’ have never crossed paths inside the Octagon, though that’s not for a lack of trying on Chiesa’s part. Following his win over Tony Ferguson last year, ‘Maverick’ called for a clash with Covington to find out who the best welterweight hailing from the Pacific Northwest truly is.

“I mean, I hate to beat a dead horse man, I want the same guy I asked for last time I was here – I want to fight Colby Covington before I retire,” Chiesa said during the UFC Abu Dhabi post-show in August.
