The UFC<\/a> welterweight division hasn’t been kind to Colby Covington lately. After his latest setback against Joaquin Buckley ended with a nasty cut and a TKO loss, fans would think he might take some time to regroup. But nope. ‘Chaos’ has got different plans, and they involve picking fights a whole weight class up.<\/p>

The rivalry between him and former middleweight champion Sean Strickland is well known. ‘Tarzan’ has left no opportunity to trash-talk Covington and his personality. Now, the former title contender is snapping back.<\/p>

What Did Colby Covington Say About Sean Strickland?<\/h2>

Speaking on Submission Radio, Covington floated the idea of moving up to middleweight, specifically calling out Sean Strickland. He basically called Sean a glorified cardio kickboxer with just two moves in his arsenal: a jab and a front kick. Coming from a guy who’s made his career on cardio and pressure, that’s pretty rich.<\/p>

“He’s [Strickland] got a jab, he’s got a front kick. But besides that, you shut those weapons down, and he’s very limited. So, you know, he’s a cardio fighter. He’s just a cardio kickboxer, essentially. I don’t see any threats out of Sean Strickland. And it’s an entertaining fight that I might entertain in the future.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
