Dustin Poirier has some more words to share in response to Colby Covington’s callout.<\/p>\n
Covington took care of business on March 5. In the UFC 272 headliner, Covington took on his former friend and training partner Jorge Masvidal. Covington had a couple of shaky moments but for the most part, his pressure and grappling were too much for “Gamebred” to handle.<\/p>\n
Covington emerged victorious via unanimous decision.<\/p>\n
During his post-fight interview<\/a> with Joe Rogan, Covington took aim at Poirier, who is another former American Top Team teammate (via MMAMania).<\/p>\n \u201cI just took care of Miami street trash, now it\u2019s time to take care of Louisiana swamp trash. Where you at Dustin Poirier, you cuck. You said it\u2019s on sight. Name the site, Dustin. Bring that jezebel of a wife and bring that little kid and I\u2019ll see you soon. You\u2019re next.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Poirier was in attendance for UFC Vegas 50. “The Diamond” was interviewed by ESPN backstage and discussed Covington calling him out (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s cute. It\u2019s all good. It is what it is. People want big fights. That\u2019s a big fight. He wants big fights. Obviously, he\u2019s not in line for the title fight. He lost twice to the champ, so he probably needs a few more wins. But I would think if you want to get back to that strap you have to fight welterweight contenders. I don\u2019t know what I\u2019m doing, if I\u2019m going to welterweight, if I\u2019m staying at 155. We\u2019ll see. But it is what it is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Colby Covington is known for trying to make things personal. He even went as far as to accuse Poirier’s wife of sleeping with Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n Poirier has admitted that his beef with “Chaos” is personal. In fact, he’s even said he wouldn’t fight Covington unless it took place on the streets. Poirier says it’s “on sight” whenever he sees Covington.<\/p>\n
