Over the last few months, Colby Covington and his friend and training partner Jorge Masvidal<\/a> have made repeated callouts of fellow welterweight contenders Rafael Dos Anjos and Neil Magny. Unfortunately, Magny and Dos Anjos didn’t oblige those callouts. So, you can imagine Covington and Masvidal’s frustration when a Magny and Dos Anjos were booked to fight each other at UFC 216.<\/p>\n

On the latest edition of BJ Penn Radio<\/a>, Covington went off on Magny and Dos Anjos in a scathing rant. Check out what he had to say below:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I saw Magny and RDA signed the contract, it just sort of reiterated what we\u2019ve been saying the whole time, how much of cowards they are,” Covington said.\u00a0\u201cThey wouldn\u2019t fight me if I went up and bitch slapped them in front of their girl and their whole families. That\u2019s how fucking scared they are.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMagny was healthy and he could have fought, but he was playing that card like, \u2018oh I need some more time to get healthy.\u2019 And RDA was playing that card \u2018Oh I\u2019m injured, this and that, I can\u2019t do it.\u2019 But then all of the sudden they both get booked. That\u2019s real bizarre and real strange. They\u2019re both shady dudes, you know? They say one thing to the media, that they\u2019ll do this and that, but when it comes down to them, and the UFC offers them this and that, they want to act like cherry pickers and they want to pick the easiest fights possible to navigate themselves to a title shot. At the end of the day, it\u2019s not going to matter. Me and Jorge are here now, and nobody\u2019s getting passed me and Jorge. I can tell you that.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you think Neil Magny and Rafael Dos Anjos should have accepted fights with Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington?<\/p>\n
