Colby Covington has blasted Dustin Poirier for allegedly dropping and taunting an amateur in training.<\/p>\n

Covington and Poirier used to train with each other at American Top Team. However, they had a big falling out<\/a> after “Chaos” picked Khabib Nurmagomedov to beat him. After that, they then began taking shots at one another and now Covington claims Poirier taunted an amateur in training in the lead-up to the Nurmagomedov preparation.<\/p>\n

\u201cDustin (Poirier) is not a nice, charitable guy,\u201d Covington said to MMAJunkie<\/a> (via LowKick MMA<\/a>). \u201cHe is a piece of sh*t person \u2014 let me show you this video, Mike, so you can see it off-camera, I can\u2019t show it on camera, look at this, look at this fight, this was at training. Wait, this is an amateur, by the way, no headgear, he was going training with him, watch. Watch what he says in his face, \u2018And New\u2019 \u2014 he\u2019s rubbing it in the kid\u2019s face after he drops him. What\u2019s nice and honorable, and charitable about that?<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just dropped an amateur who came to help you train for Khabib (Nurmagomedov) which \u2014 why are you training with amateurs when you\u2019re preparing for Khabib as it is?\u201d Covington continued. \u201cYou have the best wrestler, the best cardio freak in the gym as there is at the gym at the time, but you chose to train with amateurs and you\u2019re supposed to be this good guy but you\u2019re not and you\u2019re knocking out amateurs, and you\u2019re yelling in their face, \u2018And New\u2019. That\u2019s not Khabib kid, you didn\u2019t just knock out Khabib. So Dustin\u2019s a prick. Dustin\u2019s a piece of sh*t, and I\u2019m sick of this, \u2018nice guy\u2019 act.\u201c<\/p>\n

Covington has taken shots at Poirier before as he says his charity is a tax write-off<\/a>. However, there is no proof this has happened so it’s uncertain if the former interim welterweight champion is telling the truth.<\/p>\n
