Colby Covington has told Dustin Poirier to 'show more respect' to Conor McGregor, claiming the Diamond was a 'jobber' and a 'nobody' before his victories over the Irishman.

Poirier, 32, has enjoyed a sensational 2021, having defeated the former two-weight world champion at UFC 257, before a freak injury to the Irishman in their trilogy bout at UFC 264 handed him a second victory in six months. 

There has been no love lost between the pair, with McGregor launching foul-mouthed tirades at Poirier, including remarks about his wife, as well as vowing to make the American a 'corpse' after their third fight. Poirier later reflected that McGregor's insults made him look 'mentally weak'.
