Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayColby Covington believes Arman Tsarukyan has displayed unsportsmanlike behavior that he isn’t a fan of.
Covington has long been known to ruffle the feathers of other fighters with his trash talk. The former interim UFC Welterweight Champion insists that even he has his limits, and he feels Tsarukyan has stepped out of bounds on numerous occasions. From brawling on the mat to a questionable move on a California legend, Tsarukyan has drawn the ire of some over his with his actions.
Following his RAF 09 win over Chris Weidman, Covington spoke to reporters during the post-event presser. “Chaos” said he wasn’t a fan of Tsarukyan lifting Urijah Faber off the mat and down to the floor during their RAF 08 meeting back in April (h/t MMAJunkie).
“I just don’t like his antics,” Covington said. “Throwing Urijah Faber, a legend of the sport, off the stage; brawling with guys on the wrestling mat. That’s not professional. That’s not how we act in the wrestling world. That’s not the culture of wrestling, so I want to set him straight. I want to teach him a lesson. You don’t come to America and, on American soil, disrespect us Americans. Now he’s going to have to face one of the greatest Americans that there is in the wrestling world. I plan on dunking him and giving him a wedgie like the little nerd that he is.”
Covington and Tsarukyan had a faceoff during the RAF 09 broadcast. The two are scheduled for a RAF 11 showdown on July 18 in Milwaukee. Both men have enjoyed success under the RAF banner. Covington has scored wins over Luke Rockhold, Dillon Danis, and Weidman, while Tsarukyan defeated Lance Palmer, Georgio Poullas twice, Faber, and Keelon “Mugzy” Jimison.
