Colby Covington trashes 'Bozo' Nickal | MMA News
During a latest look on the Ariel Helwani Show, UFC middleweight Bo Nickal said former interim welterweight champion Colby Covington turned down preventing him at the UFC White House event. Covington denied Nickel’s allegations and then went scorched Earth on the wrestling standout.
“Not true. Hunter [Campbell] and the UFC never entertained, or offered that fight. Why would the UFC give me a fight up a weight class (against) a guy who is not ranked,” questioned Covington.
“This is a guy in Bozo Nickals who quit in front of the whole world. He thinks he’s a fighter. No, he’s a competitor. We saw what happened when it was a fight against RDR (Reinier de Ridder), the Dutch grappler. And as soon as the fight started getting going, that’s when he quit. He’s a quitter. Why would the UFC give me a quitter fight? So, they never offered me the fight. I would have loved to take that fight at the White House. It’s an easy fight.
“He cannot strike. He cannot wrestle and maintain me down. It can be an simple combat,” Covington continued. “Bozo, Bo Nickal sucks worse than [Jerry] Sandusky.”
There’s the possibility that Nickal was given wrong information, and Covington believes it’s likely.
“That’s the factor. Bo does not symbolize himself, so he is just out of the loop. He’s just in all probability listening to what his supervisor is telling him, but I deal instantly with the UFC. I’m going to Hunter myself, and we’ve got cellphone calls all the time. He’s never talked to Hunter or any high-up UFC brass in his profession because he is never been in a main event,” said Covington.
“He’s an absolute no person. The followers hate him. I hate him. Penn State hates him. Nobody likes him. He’s just not a likable man because he is so entitled. He acts all privileged all the time. He hasn’t earned something. He pulled out against 50 year-old Yoel Romero twice. Not just once, twice. He’s not a company man. He’s scared to combat, scared to wrestle even. He pulled out of two wrestling matches, so he is scared to wrestle. He’s not a company man. He’s not dependable, and he is not ranked. He’s a Bozo. He’s a no person. He’s not price my time … They did not offer it. He’s a Bozo, and he sucks worse than Sandusky.”
