At UFC 272, Colby Covington defeated Jorge Masvidal via decision and got the edge over their long rivalry. The pair have been best of friends but are now turned into bitter rivals. The fight was a one-sided beatdown by Colby Covington who used his elite wrestling skills to nullify Jorge Masvidal’s standup game. After the fight, Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal still were going after each other and continued the trash talk until they left the cage. After getting the win over Jorge Masvidal, Colby Covington moved his attention to his next target who is his former ATT teammate, Dustin Poirier.
Former two-time UFC lightweight title challenger Dustin Poirier is a proud ATT fighter and has trained alongside Colby and Jorge for a long time. But now after Colby left the gym he started to take shots at Poirier and has talked wild trash about Dustin Poirier and his family.
Now at UFC 272, Colby Covington called out Dustin Poirier during his interview inside the octagon.
“I just took care of Miami street trash, now it’s time to take care of Louisiana swamp trash,” Covington shouted. “Where you at Dustin Poirier, you c***. You said it’s on sight. Name the site, Dustin. Bring that jezebel of a wife and bring that little kid and I’ll see you soon. You’re next.”
After seeing this callout, Dustin Poirier gave his response on Twitter and seemingly accepted the challenge.

Dustin Poirer talks about his rivalry with Colby Covington
Dustin Poirier in one of his interviews stated that he would be interested in fighting Colby Covington in the octagon.
“No. I’ll never fight [Colby Covington] in an Octagon where there’s finances on the line. If I’m fighting Colby we’re both going to jail. I’m going to jail. I’m not going to fight him in an octagon. He’s not making money off of my career and what I’ve done. This is something different, you know. You will never see me fight Colby Covington in the UFC.”
The conflict between them took a bad turn after Colby Covington made some remarks about Dustin’s wife and also called Dustin a sh*t father.
“I’m picking on a guy that said it’s ‘on sight’ in the media. He said when I see Colby, it’s ‘on sight.’ I wanna keep these guys held accountable for their street cred. They’re talking all this sh*t in the media but when it’s time to do business and get in the cage and actually fight, they’re nowhere to be found. So Dustin, you’re a f***ing coward, your wife is a hoe and she has fake t**s on her chest, and you’re a piece of sh*t father!”
