Colby Covington and Gilbert Burns have been going at each other for a long time now. The Brazilian fighter recently leaked Covington’s coach, Chael Sonnen’s contact number online. However, this did not sit well with ‘Chaos’ as Sonnen got harassed by fans after the leak. Aiming at Burns, the former UFC welterweight vowed to destroy him inside the octagon.
While the back-and-forth continued, Covington recently claimed that Burns took a picture with him at a concert as he was a big fan. However, when the Brazilian was asked about the same in the ‘Show Me The Money Podcast,’ Burns spilled a hilarious truth. He stated that they did take a picture at a Brazilian concert three years back, but it was Covington who asked for it.
“I think as we were walking off Colby was there and Colby he saw me and Then he called me. Hey, come here. Come here. And then I was over ready. No, I don’t know I was ready if something happened…” Burns said. He added that Covington then went on to say, “This guy’s so fake, bro (0:55) Gilbert l’m a huge fan. Oh Bro, you were warrior. I respect you your family guy.”
