Shortly after his dominant decision defeat of Dong Hyun Kim in Singapore, rising welterweight Colby Covington re-upped on his previous callout of Rafael Dos Anjos<\/a>. The American Top Team staple also made a clever, post-fight callout of Neil Magny.<\/p>\n

On the latest episode of BJ Penn Radio<\/a>, however, Covington explained that he doesn’t think either man wants to fight him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m scaring the ink out of pens,\u201d he said. \u201cThese guys don\u2019t want to sign to fight me.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Covington then explained that he’d prefer to fight Magny over Dos Anjos, and that a backstage encounter with Dos Anjos has him believing the former lightweight champ is scared to fight him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d prefer to fight Magny, just because he\u2019s number five,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s up there, he\u2019s closer to a title shot, but Rafael Dos Anjos is so juicy, just because of the name. The guy\u2019s a bum, man. He\u2019s old, he\u2019s past his prime. I feel like that\u2019s a good fight for me to get a Performance of the Night bonus against that guy. But he doesn\u2019t want to fight, he\u2019s scared. I was telling him back stage, right before the press conference, I was like \u2018what\u2019s up, you\u2019re a bitch, you\u2019re scared man, you don\u2019t want to fight me.\u2019 And he was like \u2018oooh, ahh, you want that title shot?\u2019 That\u2019s all he could say to me. He\u2019s scared man. He\u2019s told the UFC he doesn\u2019t want that fight. He doesn\u2019t want anything to do to me. Rafael Dos Anjos, you\u2019re a bitch.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Rafael<\/p>\n

Outside of Magny and Dos Anjos, Covington explained that he’s also interested in a fight with the winner of Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone and Robbie Lawler’s UFC 213 scrap.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lawler\/Cerrone winner,\u201d he said. \u201cI think that\u2019d be an ideal matchup. If Condit\u2019s still around\u2026 I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s too old and been through too many wars to come back, but if he wants to come back, I\u2019d welcome that fight. I would love that fight. I dunno who else is up there. Maia\u2019s getting a shot, Stephen Thompson is going to fight my boy Jorge [Masvidal]\u2026 so Magny, RDA, Lawler\u2026 I\u2019d love to fight Lawler.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
