Colby Covington’s list of enemies in the UFC keeps on growing, with heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic the latest to plan on confronting him.
The outspoken former interim welterweight champion has antagonised fellow American Top Team fighters Jorge Masvidal and Dustin Poirier – who have both challenged him to show up at their gym in Florida.
Now you can add Miocic to Covington’s list of enemies.
“I’m not talking about that kid, I’m kinda upset with that kid,” the Croatian-American, who regained the heavyweight title from Daniel Cormier at UFC 241 last month, told TalkRadio 77 WABC this week.


“He was saying stuff to my wife after my fight. I’m going to have to talk to him. Just a normal conversation. I’m not going to go out and take his head out. Just want to talk to him.”
Covington received nuclear heat from the Honda Centre crowd when he walked into the arena to take his seat near the Octagon during the UFC 241 main card’s opening fight between Derek Brunson and Ian Heinisch.
Jorge Masvidal says Colby Covington’s trash talk has ‘consequences’
There were deafening chants of “Colby sucks” and several UFC fighters – including Masvidal – tried to get into it with him, with Dana White saying he had to get security involved.
It seems that didn’t deter Covington.
“My wife was walking to me in the cage [after the Cormier fight],” Miocic said. “He was saying something to her and my manager being the man that he is, told him to shut the f*** up. I’m going to find out, I’m like the FBI, I will find out what he said and go up to him and talk about it.”
