Along with this one of the most famous UFC Welterweight fighter Nate Diaz is making his comeback inside the octagon against the number 3rd ranked Leon Edwards and it seems Colby Covington isn’t a fan of either of these two.

In his latest interview with Helen Yee, Covington criticized the match between Nate Diaz and Leon Edwards. Covington says, “You know, I think it’s the fight of two losers. Two guys who haven’t fought in two years, I think that’s the last time they both fought and they’re both coming off losses. So it makes sense for them to match them up to see who’s gonna be the biggest loser.”

“You know, whoever wins that fight, there’s only one way to go from there, they’re gonna get whopped the next fight. So, let them get that out of the way, no one’s caring about that fight. Those guys don’t even fight and they’re not here to make this division great again and you know, we’ll see what happens.”

Although there is no confirmation to this but Colby Covington wants to serve as a backup fighter in the match between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261.

There is no confirmation from the promotion yet but Covington said he’ll be also training for this fight and in case someone backs up, he’ll step in the fight immediately.

In the UFC top 5 Welterweights are almost booked to face each other only ‘The Chaos’ is remaining. Whom do you’ll think Covington should face in his next fight?
