Dustin Poirier responds to ‘bombaclot’ Colby Covington: Maybe fight a welterweight contender?

Dustin Poirier has urged ‘bombaclot’ Colby Covington to stay in his lane and fight a welterweight contender rather than target a lightweight fighter such as himself.

Covington, 34, called out Poirier, 33, following his lopsided unanimous decision victory over Jorge Masvidal in the UFC 272 main event last night at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

“I just took care of Miami street trash, now it’s time to take care of Louisiana swamp trash,” Covington said in his post-fight interview. “Where you at Dustin Poirier, you c***. You said it’s on sight. Name the site, Dustin. Bring that jezebel of a wife and bring that little kid and I’ll see you soon.
