If Colby Covington was trying to get under Dustin Poirier’s skin ahead of his fight at UFC 264, the always outspoken welterweight contender will be sorely disappointed.
On Tuesday, Covington released a brief 15-second clip that showed Poirier dropping a training partner during a sparring session at American Top Team in Florida.
Initially, Covington called Poirier’s sparring partner an amateur but he later amended that statement saying “the guy with no headgear, wrestling credentials or brain cells left is ‘Khabib’” as he hinted this was a training session from the training camp to face Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2019.
