Colby Covington and Henry Sejude took part in a nasty verbal exchange during a recent poker tournament.
Colby Covington and Henry Sejude are mostly hit in poker events
Colby Covington is considered one of the biggest winding merchants in the sport of MMA, making his name for himself with his rude nature and cross-line insults.
His recent performance in the octagon failed to support these statements, losing his final two fights with Leon Edwards and Joaquin Buckley.
The controversial UFC star has begun to dive into various paths away from the sport, making consistent appearances in the most popular streamer, Neon.
However, his recent appearance in the Kick Livestream appeared in poker tournaments that included former UFC flyweight champion Henry Sejude.
Cejudo was a huge success in the UFC, winning titles at 125 and 135 pounds and becoming a multiple weight champion, winning Olympic Gold in wrestling in 2008. That’s why he calls himself a “triple champion.”
Despite their mutual interest with the MMA, the two clearly don’t get along well, as it was not friendly and involved in a passionate exchange between them.

Covington began an oral exchange with “send him back to the Shire,” a clear insult to Henry Sejude’s height.
Sejude said, “He can’t beat s***, he can’t beat s***. Double champion, Olympic champion, you don’t have s***’.
Covington did not take this too kindly, threatening Sejude with a physical altercation. “I still knock your a** out, you’re a little guy and you knock f***.”
Luckily, the two of them stopped the room from becoming ughed, so they weren’t close enough to physically change the argument over this word.
Neither Cejudo nor Covington have an exact return date to the UFC. The former flyweight champion is on the verge of retirement, and Covington needs to be smart about his next fight choice.
