After winning the interim belt on Saturday evening at UFC 225, Colby Covington went on the Fox Sports 1 post-fight show and immediately started calling out the panelists as “haters.” Never one to take something lying down, Michael Bisping fired back at Covington for being a “prick,“ resulting in an heated exchange that drew criticism from some for Bisping lack of professionalism.
Well, Bisping does not agree. Addressing the issue on the most recent episode of his Believe You Me podcast, the former middleweight champion explained his side of the controversy, saying that if he had to do it all over again, maybe he wouldn’t be as abrasive but he was just trying to give Covington a willing partner to work his shtick with.
