Dana White calls Colby Covington a ‘big-mouthed idiot’ after UFC title belt claims

Colby Covington threatened to slap Dana White in the face with his title belt if the UFC president tries to put it around his waist at UFC 245. White didn’t take too kindly to the comments, to say the least.

“I can tell you who’s not wrapping it around my waist, and that will not be Dana White,” Covington told Submission Radio ahead of his fight with welterweight champion Kamaru Usman in Las Vegas on December 14.

“If he tries to wrap it around my waist, I’m gonna take the belt from him and slap him in the face with it.”

White had short shrift for Covington’s words though when asked at the UFC Boston post event press conference at TD Garden.

“Good luck with that. Good luck with that,” White said. “He’s a big mouthed f****** idiot.”
