VIDEO | Ben Saunders Completely Snaps on Colby Covington Stylistically
If it’s attention Colby Covington wanted, attention he got. He took out former UFC welterweight title challenger Demian Maia, trashed Brazil, called out Tyron Woodley, and later spoke out against American Top Team co-founder Ricardo Liborio. Ben Saunders, fellow welterweight and ATT member, didn’t take too kindly to any of Covington’s comments. Matter of fact, he got super heated and decided to get some stuff off his chest. This resulted in a profanity-laced video that would make any bleep button sound like a Morse code distress message.

“Yeah, this is definitely a message for Colby Covington or however the f-ck you say your last name, bro. You’re gonna’ f-cking come out and f-cking talk sh-t about Ricardo Liborio? Are you f-cking joking me? He didn’t f-cking disrespect you. You little f-cking bitch. You’re going to come out and call him a scumbag? Call him a f-cking con man? Are you kidding me? American Top Team wouldn’t even f-cking be here if it wasn’t for him. Why don’t you f-cking do your research, b-tch. Obvously, Dan Lambert f-cking needed that motherf-cker to even start American Top Team. Dan Lambert being a motherf-cking millionaire. Whatever the f-ck you’re talking about, shut the f-ck you up. Stylistically? I f-cking put you to sleep, b-tch. On the feet? I f-ck you up. In the clinch? I f-cking put you to sleep. On the ground? I make you my b-tch. Keep talking that sh-t, man. Keep running your f-cking mouth. Rankings don’t mean a goddamn thing. Stylistically? I make you a highlight reel.” — Ben Saunders on his official Instagram.
While a video like that would hype up anybody, it’s unlikely this results into an actual fight. Ben Saunders is seven spots underneath Colby Covington, perhaps even more considering Saunders isn’t ranked at welterweight. However, he said it himself and we’ve seen it proven time and time again that rankings don’t mean anything. There’s a real rivalry here, whether that is enough for the UFC to put something behind is up to them. The way that Saunders was talking, it doesn’t seem like an official sanctioned fight even matters. This is a classic gym war that could take place behind close doors, it just would be better if we were able to see it.
