Marvin Vettori slams Colby Covington regarding the Jon Anik death threat incident

Marvin Vettori, who is currently ranked No.3 in the UFC middleweight division, did not mince words when it came to his opinion of No.2-ranked welterweight Colby Covington.

This follows recent comments made by Covington, who publicly criticized UFC commentator Jon Anik for supporting Belal Muhammad's claim to the title, and even went as far as making a death threat against him. The 29-year-old had some harsh words for Covington over his actions and the negative impact they can have on the sport.

'The Italian Dream', responded to Covington's attack on Jon Anik by publicly criticizing Covington's behavior. Vettori went as far as to claim that Covington 'sh*t himself in the street', which suggests that he has no respect for his trash talk and believes that he is cowardly. He stated:

"Colby sh*t himself in the street. He's not that kind of guy. But, regardless, I don't even want to talk about him. When did you see Colby showing up for himself? Like [when did you him] being real - in a real altercation? Like, you know, in real life? Come on, bro - 100%, he's all talk."
