Colby Covington has recently ignited a fiery feud with former lightweight champion Charles Oliveira. In a scathing interview, Covington labeled Oliveira a “mentally weak weight bully” and challenged him to step up to the welterweight division.
“He’s taller than me, weighs more than me. The guy’s just a weight bully cutting to 155. He wants to be stronger in there because he’s mentally weak…He’s another one of those guys with baseless words…He’s your chance Charles Olivieira, I’m the biggest fight you can get. Former world champion, the king of Brazil, the king of Miami, Donald Trump’s favorite fighter. What’s gonna be bigger for your legacy Charles than fighting me?” Colby Covington stated.
Colby Covington calls Charles Oliveira a mentally weak weight bully, and calls him out to a fight:
"There's nothing left for you at 155 [lbs]. All these other guys they're trying to match you up with are complete nobodies.

Is Colby Covington vs Charles Oliveira Possible?
The Brazilian fighter, known as ‘do Bronx,’ has been dominating the lightweight ranks, but Covington believes he should test himself against bigger opponents. According to ‘Chaos,’ Oliveira’s move to welterweight is a sign of weakness, as he allegedly relies on his size advantage to overpower lighter foes.
Covington, a former world champion and self-proclaimed king of Brazil, extended an enticing fight offer to Oliveira, emphasizing that this clash would be the pinnacle of Oliveira’s MMA legacy. The tension between these two fighters promises an explosive showdown in the octagon. It will be interesting to see whether this fight will actually materialize or not.
