Colby Covington vs. Dustin Poirier: A Head-to-Toe Breakdown

Moments after winning a highly publicized grudge match with former training partner Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272, Colby Covington set himself up for another animosity-infused scrap.

"You said it's on sight," he growled in his post-fight interview with commentator Joe Rogan, locking his crosshairs on former American Top Team stablemate Dustin Poirier. "Name the site, Dustin."

Covington fights a weight class above Poirier, but his callout actually makes some sense. He has twice lost to reigning welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and likely recognizes it's going to take some doing to earn a third shot. Poirier is in a similar situation at lightweight, having been submitted in both of his bids for the division's top prize.
