Covington is known as one of the nastiest and most relentless trash talkers in MMA. In fact, he often trash talks fighters who compete multiple weight classes away from him, who he has no hope of fighting. That includes reigning UFC heavyweight champ Jon Jones, and now, former featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski.
