Colby Covington leaves American Top Team

Colby Covington has officially left American Top Team. After long speculation regarding beef between Covington and the other fighters at American Top Team, Covington made it official. These include perennial strawweight contender Joanna Jedrzejczyk, former interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier and BMF belt holder Jorge Masvidal. At one point in time, a no trash talk rule was enforced in American Top Team. It was an effort to ease tensions. Masvidal and Jedrzejczyk even said that they were not cheering for him during the main event at UFC 245 against champion Kamaru Usman.
