“That fight needs to happen. He’s talked too reckless in the media, he’s said ‘it’s on sight’ and the last time he was talking to you clickbait merchants he was saying ‘oh I’m not gonna fight Colby in the Octagon where there’s finances on the line, I’m gonna fight him in the streets and we’re both gonna go to jail’. It’s funny, it’s very ironic because he talks about being a family guy, a good guy, but he wants to fight me in the streets and potentially go away from his family. Dustin Poirier has all these stipulations to fight me, I just have one stipulation – my one stipulation is he lets the world watch and enjoy themselves.”

Covington is referencing the following interview in which Poirier did say he wouldn’t fight Colby in the cage.

Colby is on fire

Conor, Mas, Colby… they are savvy about setting up the next fight, keeping fights on the back burner just in case. Win or lose, they have an anticipated, high profile fight left.

this should happen sooner rather than later.
Colby should heal up for a month and start camp for this guy.
Dustin has to fight him.
he can retire after that.

Calling out a fighter from a lower weight class is such a bitch move

they both walk around at the same weight [according to Colby] he also say DP is a bully for dropping so much weight to fight lighter guys.

This. Weird weak af callout. Call out Khamzat again if you really want to be a gangster

Colby knows that DP is a lower risk, higher reward fight than khamzat, hence the call out. Add the drama and the personal shit.
As much as i like Colby it’s easy to see he’s taking a leaf or two out of conor’s playbook, up to the lairy suits and the fisticuffs pose at the presser.

Colby is a couple inches taller and clearly the bigger fighter. Dustin has 27 UFC fights, 11 at 145 and 16 at 155

Colby wrestled at 174, always fought at 170

He’s already big enough. He just doesn’t want that smoke because he knows how it ends.

Dustin needs to wait for Conor if he wants to get paid… not Colby

Colby needs to fight Leon or Vicente or Khamzat

it’ll be Conor vs Nate.
DP is too dangerous for Conor
Nate is money.
