Colby Covington has apologized to Dustin Poirier for bad-mouthing him in an interview.<\/p>\n
Covington and Poirier, who both train at American Top Team in Florida, devolved from training partners into enemies last year. The pair even exchanged some threats on social media.\u00a0<\/a>This lead ATT owner Dan Lambert to broker a truce between the pair.<\/p>\n During an interview earlier this week, Covington violated that truce by taking a shot at Poirier in an interview.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can\u2019t do anything at American Top Team,\u201d Covington told ESPN <\/span><\/a>(transcript via South China Morning Post<\/a>)<\/span>. \u201cThat\u2019s a place of business. That\u2019s a sanctuary. And we respect the rules of the American Top Team. We\u2019ve decided to put the beefs aside when we walk into American Top Team. We keep it cool.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t say what\u2019s gonna happen in the street,\u201d Covington continued. \u201cYou\u2019re probably gonna run from me and run home to Louisiana. We know he\u2019s running from me in the Octagon. He ain\u2019t never gonna try and fight me in the Octagon.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s what makes the whole thing so stupid. He\u2019s a little lightweight washout and he\u2019s trying to call out the greatest welterweight of all time, me, myself. So the whole thing from the start is just fake news. It makes no sense.”<\/p>\n Speaking on his Instagram on Tuesday night, Covington issued an apology to Poirier for violating their truce by talking trash.<\/p>\n\n
