Earlier this week, following Dustin Poirier’s UFC 242 title loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, ‘The Diamond’ called Colby Covington a ‘sell-out’ after being asked about potentially challenging the winner of Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz for the ‘BMF’ belt.
“Jorge (Masvidal) is a buddy of mine. I don’t sell out like f—king Colby Covington,” Poirier said at the post-fight press conference. “I don’t talk bad about people who I roll with.”
Covington soon got wind of Poirier’s comments and responded with the following statement, accusing Poirier of being mad that he picked Khabib to beat him.
