Over the weekend (Sat. December 14, 2019) Colby Covington was defeated in his pursuit of the welterweight title by defending champion Kamaru Usman in the UFC 245 pay-per-view (PPV) main event, much to the enjoyment of many within the mixed martial arts (MMA) community who aren’t big fans of his gimmick.

Even some of Covington’s American Top Team (ATT) teammates have openly been rooting against “Chaos,” such as former friend Jorge Masvidal. Now, another ATT team member in Dustin Poirier, who has had his fair share of issues with Covington in recent months, has offered his thoughts on the situation.

Poirier used Covington’s MAGA gimmick to poke fun at the fact that “Chaos” broke his jaw before being finished by Usman in the fifth round of their title fight.

“MJGA”

Poirier then followed up with another Tweet sharing more detail.

“Listen.. this stuff isn’t easy, there’s always gonna be consequences and repercussions when you talk that much shit! Welcome to the world of MMA! Get it how you live”

Poirier comes off a title fight defeat of his own, as he was submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov in Abu Dhabi with the 155-pound title on the line. After undergoing surgery recently, Poirier awaits news on a return opponent for 2020.

British referee Marc Goddard was the man in the middle as Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington went to war for the welterweight belt at UFC 245 on Saturday night.

After four hard rounds the fight was in the balance heading into the fifth and final round. The champion Usman showed an extra gear in that round and badly dropped his opponent on two occasions, before landing some ground and pound.

Covington was trying to defend himself and covering up well despite nursing a broken jaw. However Goddard took a close look and jumped in to stop the fight, leaving the challenger furious with the referee. He didn’t even stick around to hear the official result.

In his only post-fights comments Covington slammed Goddard for his poor officiating during the fight, accused the Englishman of f*cking him and also labelled him a fake ref.

“Normally people
do their f*cking in the bedroom, not the octagon @marcgoddard_uk! I go in there
to kill or be killed. You robbed me of that. You robbed the people of a fair
fight. You should be ashamed of yourself. Fake nut shot. Fake eye poke. Fake
stoppage. Fake ref. #ufc245”

The MMA community and fans appeared split on Goddards call. The veteran referee has now spoke out about his decision and his overall work in the fight game.

“Raw emotion
& the highest of stakes, fighting is like nothing else on earth. I respect
each & every person I stand between & I will give you all I’ve got. I
am a human being. Thank you to all who understand what I have put into this
game, that will never stop. God bless. ?”

Do
you think Marc Goddard stopped Colby Covington too early?
