Well, it looks like the truce between Colby Covington and Dustin Poirier is back on, again. The relationship between the American Top Team (ATT) fighters looked to be on rocky ground when Covington slammed “The Diamond” in an interview with ESPN’s Ariel Helwani on Monday night. But “Chaos” quickly apologised to Poirier, whom he had incensed with trash talk last year in the build-up to and following the former interim lightweight champion’s fight with Khabib Nurmagomedov last September. “Made a deal to keep it civil with @dustinpoirier and broke it in an interview yesterday,” Covington wrote in an Instagram post. “I’m a man of my word and I apologise for my mistake.” “We’ve decided to put the beefs aside when we walk into ATT… I can’t say what’s going to happen in the street. He’ll probably run from me.” @ColbyCovMMA says things between himself and Dustin Poirier are civil in the gym, but the street is a different story (via @arielhelwani ) pic.twitter.com/hWk35wrG8x — ESPN MMA (@espnmma) March 17, 2020 ATT owner Dan Lambert had brokered a peace deal between the fighters last month, with tensions threatening to boil over into a physical incident at the gym. . “We can’t do anything at American Top Team,” Covington had told Helwani. “That’s a place of business. That’s a sanctuary. And we respect the rules of the American Top Team. We’ve decided to put the beefs aside when we walk into American Top Team. We keep it cool.” UFC: Khabib ‘doesn’t care’ where he fights Tony – ‘send location’ “I can’t say what’s gonna happen in the street,” Covington continued, however. “You’re probably gonna run from me and run home to Louisiana. We know he’s running from me in the Octagon. He ain’t never gonna try and fight me in the Octagon. “That’s what makes the whole thing so stupid. He’s a little lightweight washout and he’s trying to call out the greatest welterweight of all time, me, myself. So the whole thing from the start is just fake news. It makes no sense. “The guy needs to stay in his lane, understand his role. Just know your role b****. I’m at the top of the mountain and I’m what’s saving the UFC.” Covington later expanded on his apology in an interview with Submission Radio. “I broke a promise to Dan Lambert, I really do feel bad. I feel ashamed,” he said. “I kinda lost my cool. I was spitting fire on the world and I was so hyped up about the [Tyron] Woodley fight that I kinda went off on Dustin. “I’m sorry Dustin, you’re still my friend. We can still be friends. I’m sorry if i hurt your feelings in saying some words in the past. Business goes back to usual at American Top Team. I want to have a civil gym, I don’t want there to be drama. “If any of these guys want to fight me, you know where you can find me. We can fight for a lot of money in the Octagon. Why aren’t these guys talking about fighting me in the Octagon? They’re just talking about fighting me in the street.”
