Reigning UFC middleweight champion, Sean Strickland, didn’t ignore the statement of his compatriot Colby Covington, who challenged him in an offensive manner.
“The only thing Colby can do is dial 911: ‘Somebody send help.’ I don’t have an ounce of respect for him. You ran away from Werdum and turned Jorge in to the cops after you paid for your language,” the American wrote on social media.
Covington previously said he would be willing to share the octagon with Strickland after taking the UFC welterweight title from Brit Leon Edwards this weekend at UFC 296 in Las Vegas.
Sean Strickland, who sensationally captured the UFC middleweight championship belt from Israel Adesanya this past September, will make his first title defense on Jan. 20 at UFC 297 in Toronto against South African Dricus Du Plessis.
That said, Covington and Strickland have already talked about wanting to compete at the UFC 300 anniversary event next April.
