UFC: Justin Gaethje wants to slap ‘coward’ Colby Covington – ‘I’ve never met someone as fake’
- Gaethje says he had sung Covington’s praises after Donald Trump rally ‘because of how professional he was’
- ‘But then he went on to do a bunch of interviews and I probably despise that man more than anybody on planet Earth, other than paedophiles and murderers’
Colby Covington’s list of enemies in the UFC just keeps on growing.
Alongside him posing for pictures with Trump was UFC interim lightweight champ Justin Gaethje. But the outspoken Covington seemed to keep things professional, even despite the presence of Gaethje’s manager Ali Abdelaziz, who also looks after Kamaru Usman – the UFC welterweight champ who beat Covington by fifth-round TKO in their heated match-up last December.
“The day after that [rally], I was singing his praises because of how professional he was and how he held himself,” Gaethje said during a UFC 254 media day.
“But then he went on to do a bunch of interviews and I probably despise that man more than anybody on planet Earth, other than like child paedophiles and murderers and things like that.”
