UFC's Michael Chiesa Calls out Colby Covington After Win vs. Neil Magny

didn't wait long after his victory over Neil Magny at UFC on ESPN 20 on Wednesday to set his sights on a new challenge.

Chiesa called out Colby Covington with a clear message: "Colby Covington, your shtick is done. I want you next, boy."

Chiesa was likely referring to Covington's outspoken support for former President Donald Trump. Also in the buildup to beating Tyron Woodley last September, the 32-year-old called Woodley a "Communist" and "Marxist" and said he "hates America," leaning heavily into conservative political tropes.

While Joe Biden was sworn in as the United States' 46th president on Wednesday, Covington probably won't drop the persona that has helped him build such a sizable following.
