Referee Goddard says he ‘couldn’t care less’ what Covington says about him

British referee Marc Goddard has found himself in the crosshairs of Colby Covington ever since he officiated the UFC 245 main event last year, when Kamaru Usman disposed of Covington via fifth-round TKO to retain his welterweight title.

Covington has since labelled Goddard a ‘fake referee’ because he feels the fight was stopped too early.

Covington has hurled profanities at Goddard in various interviews since that fight but the veteran referee has kept his cool and remained professional.

Speaking to The Schmo in a recent interview (h/t Darryl Pinto of Essentially Sports), Goddard said he ‘couldn’t care less’ what ‘Chaos’ says about him anymore.
