Covington said it in his post-fight cage interview with Joe Rogan, again with Laura Sanko on “UFC Quick Hits”, and at the post-fight press conference that he would like to face Poirier in July for the UFC’s 10th Annual International Fight Week. When Sanko asked Covington in her segment why Poirier is the name he called out, Covington said, “Why that fight’ is a fight for me is because I want to hold these people accountable for the things they say in the media. Covington went on to say that Poirier is the one adding “all these stipulations,” and Covington’s only stipulation is to “let the whole world watch.”
