Colby Covington is one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC. ‘Chaos’ never shies away from taking jibes at any fighter he dislikes. Now in a recent tweet, Covington has taken digs at UFC fighter Dustin Poirier and maybe even Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Covington shared a video of two fighters competing inside the ring. One of whom is wearing protective gear, while the other is fighting without any. Along with the video, ‘Çhaos’ wrote something directed towards ‘The Eagle’ and ‘The Diamond’.
He wrote, “The guy wearing full nerf gear head to toe to protect his face and his feelings is Poirier. The guy with no headgear, wrestling credentials, or brain cells left is “khabib.”@DustinPoirier, Good guy? Bad guy? You be the judge.”

The video posted is supposed to be of Poirier beating an amateur fighter and celebrating. Covington has never shared a great relationship with Poirier or Nurmagomedov. Therefore, it came as no surprise that ‘Chaos’ took a dig at the fighters.
What’s next for Colby Covington, Dustin Poirier, and Khabib Nurmagomedov?
‘The Eagle’ has been retired since 2020 and has shown no interest in returning to the Octagon. Meanwhile, Covington would be looking to secure a rematch against Kamaru Usman. Covington first faced Usman at the UFC 245 event, ‘Chaos’ lost that fight via a 5th round TKO.
Ever since then there has been much talk as to when a rematch between Usman and Covington. Finally, Dana White has announced that if all goes well Colby Covington will face Usman later this year.
While Nurmagomedov is retired and there has been no fight scheduled for Covington as of now. Dustin Poirier is about to compete in one of the biggest fights of his career. ‘The Diamond‘ is all set to face Conor McGregor at the UFC 264 event and this fight will be the third between the two fighters.
