‘This Is an Amateur This Isn’t Khabib’- Colby Covington Reveals Video Footage of Dustin Poirier Dropping an Amateur Fighter in Training

UFC welterweight Colby Covington never fails to deliver soundbites, and his latest sit-down was no different. When going over a gauntlet of topics, Colby Covington wrapped up his interview with a verbal assault on Dustin Poirier.

Colby Covington shared a video exclusively to ‘The Schmo’ during their interview, which saw Poirier sparring with a teammate. ‘Chaos’ revealed that the teammate was an amateur and broke down the video as it played on. Covington’s commentary revealed that Dustin Poirier dropped the amateur in sparring and yelled in his face.

“I’m going to show you video because everybody in the lead-up to this Conor fight vs Dustin, everyone is pegging Dustin to be this nice, charitable guy. I want to expose the real fraud that Dustin ‘doofus’ Poirier is. Look at this, this is how he treats his teammates.”

“Look, drops an amateur, doesn’t have headgear. Watch this! Yells in his face ‘And New’. So, he takes this amateur that he’s training with, doesn’t have headgear, he drops the kid, concusses the kid. He’s yelling in the kid’s face ‘And New’, this is an Amateur Dustin, this isn’t Khabib.”

“You’re knocking this kid on the ground. This kid came to help you, he’s trying to put food on the table for his family and now you’re concussing him and yelling in his face….That guy is a complete piece of sh*t, the biggest dirtbag in all of sports, and I’m just here to expose him for the real coward and the fraud he is.”
