Colby Covington is preparing to challenge Kamaru Usman for the UFC welterweight title, a matchup that has developed quite the rivalry between the two.

Covington has seen quite the rise within the mixed martial arts (MMA) community, especially due to the brash persona he has adopted in recent years. Of course, such a move also comes with controversy. Covington’s antics have rubbed many the wrong way, including some of his own teammates at American Top Team (ATT).

Speaking to ESPN, Covington noted that he’s now doing his training behind closed doors, as some of his teammates could turn out to be his opponents down the road.

“I’m doing stuff behind closed doors now,” Covington said. “I don’t want people to see my training. That’s a big concern of mine. I don’t want people to see the game plan I’m working and how much I’ve improved and the skills I’m developing every single day. You’ll see that on fight night when I step into the Octagon.”

Covington went on to say that he has to look over his shoulder at ATT, fearing he might be attacked and claiming he has even had some people coming up to him at the gym shouting and creating scenes.

“I don’t feel comfortable,” Covington said. “I feel like I always have to look over my shoulder. I have to watch my back. I don’t know if people are gonna come up and try to attack me. I’ve had people yelling in the gym at me, creating scenes and stuff. It’s not a good environment for me there.”

ATT owner Dan Lambert commented on the situation, saying Covington doesn’t have to worry about being attacked in his gym, but anywhere else in the world is a completely different story.

“Colby doesn’t need to watch his back at our gym,” Lambert said. “He might need to watch his back just about anywhere else he goes as a result of what’s happened. … There’s pros and cons to being who Colby is and that just might be one of the things he needs to deal with moving forward.”

What do you think about Covington saying he doesn’t feel comfortable at ATT anymore?

Colby Covington has beef with tons of members of the UFC roster – including those within his own gym of American Top Team (ATT).

The most notable being Jorge Masvidal, his former best friend, and Dustin Poirier. Covington even teased that things have gotten so bad he might have to leave ATT. However, ATT owner and agent Dan Lambert tells The Score he doesn’t think that will happen. (H/T MMA Junkie)

“We got a big gym, and we got a lot of coaches with a lot of experience in dealing with issues that arise between fighters,” Lambert said. “So I’d be surprised if anyone exited the gym over a beef with another fighter. That’s just not the way it works.”

Lambert has been around the MMA game for quite some time. Given the current circumstances between Covington, Poirier, and Masvidal, he doesn’t see enough to warrant a fighter leaving the gym.

“People leave gyms for different reasons,” Lambert said. “I don’t think having beef with another fighter at the gym is a real good reason. There’s no need to have to train together. There’s no need to have to be together. So, you don’t like someone in your place of work, you just quit your job?”

Do you think Covington will remain with American Top Team?

Colby Covington admits there is a possibility of him having to leave American Top Team (ATT).

Covington got into more heat with some of his ATT teammates with comments he recently made. He notably mocked former roommate Jorge Masvidal as a jealous journeyman as well as Dustin Poirier who is coming off a lightweight title defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Masvidal responded to Covington by telling him he knew where to find him at the gym, while Poirier warned “Chaos” that things would be “on sight” if they met each other going forward. Covington even recently claimed there could be a brawl at ATT given the situation.

Because of that, he may have to end up leaving the Coconut Creek-based gym:

“That’s a very real possibility,” Covington said of a potential departure to BJ Penn Radio. “It’s a very real possibility. I don’t know. I think [ATT owner] Dan Lambert is a little bit nervous about it. We’ve been having talks the last couple of days and he’s very nervous about it. He doesn’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m always there at the gym. They know where to find me if they want to cause a scene and make friction in the gym. I know Dan doesn’t like that. He doesn’t want that rap.

“That’s the worst part about this, is the rap our gym’s getting; that there’s so much friction in the gym. But everybody knows the results speak for themselves. American Top Team is the greatest gym in the world. We have the best fighters, we have the best coaches and we have the best facilities. So I just hope that Dan doesn’t let the opinion of outsiders influence what we’re really doing. And at the end of the day, people are going to love you and people are going to hate you, man. Just take it all. There’s no such thing as bad publicity. The only bad publicity is no publicity.”

It’s not the first time Covington has caused friction with ATT teammates. He even pissed off some coaches as well following his “filthy animals” comment directed at Brazilians back in 2017.
