Colby Covington wants ‘Louisiana swamp trash’ Dustin Poirier after Kamaru Usman title fight

Colby Covington wants to fight Dustin Poirier after he takes care of business against Kamaru Usman at UFC 268, the former interim welterweight champion told Submission Radio in a recent interview.

Covington has a long and sordid history with Poirier, with ‘The Diamond’ previously complaining about ‘Chaos’ insulting now former teammates at American Top Team (ATT) in Coconut Creek, Florida.

Covington has repeatedly labelled Poirier a ‘fake nice guy’ in interviews, but this time, the 33-year-old may have gone too far.

Covington labelled Poirier and his family ‘Louisiana swamp trash’ and accused the top-ranked lightweight fighter of using his wife as a ‘prop’ to boost his image.
