Many fighters in the UFC are known for their notorious and intense verbal banter, ranging from Conor McGregor to Sean Strickland. They consistently engage in relentless trash talk, going down to the lowest level without any boundaries. Similarly, Colby Covington is known for aggressively attacking various stars beyond the cage. Meanwhile, as there is persistent talk about Michael ‘Venom’ Page fighting him, MMA Guru firmly warned MVP against taking the fight solely for the sake of mere verbal banter.
A recent post got the UFC community talking after MVP said he’d love to punch Colby Covington, hinting at a possible fight. MMA Guru quickly warned him, saying if people thought Covington’s comments about Leon Edwards’ dad were bad, things could get much worse once he digs into MVP’s past. He also pointed out that this fight might not even get a PPV press conference and advised MVP to stay away just to avoid the trash talk that would come.

If you thought what Covington said about Leon Edwards' dad was bad…. Wait until he does surface level research on MVP's
There's no way they let this fight on PPV with a press conference, MVP should avoid the matchup purely because of the build up verbal assault https://t.co/mxdE0gAn1y
There’s no doubt that Covington has no filter when it comes to trash talk, often crossing the line and hitting fighters where it hurts. However, beyond the verbal drama, this fight is exciting for fans. Both fighters have been dominant in their careers, and a clash between them would be an absolute banger inside the cage.
Colby Covington Eyeing To Make Transition To WWE From UFC
Covington made a name for himself in the UFC with his pro-wrestling-style heel persona, becoming a major star despite never winning the undisputed title. Now, he’s looking to take that act to WWE. He plans to spend the next two years improving his in-ring skills and crowd work, even considering training at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. With his ability to stir up drama, a move to pro wrestling could be the perfect next chapter for him.
He said, “Maybe I’ll go up to Orlando and go to the WWE training center. But I want to really start perfecting my craft in WWE and the wrestling moves, and hopefully, I can make a transition in the next year or two.”
It would be wild to see Covington go up against Logan Paul in WWE. Both have perfected their heel personas and are masters of trash talk, making it a match built on pure drama. The energy between them would be off the charts, with each feeding off the other’s ability to stir up the crowd. Fans would definitely tune in for this kind of showdown, where the rivalry could be just as entertaining as the fight itself.
