Colby Covington has claimed that former middleweight champion, Sean Strickland, is under investigation for ‘pistol-whipping’ a man in Las Vegas.
The two former champions have made their distaste for each other no secret over the years. Now, Covington is alleging that the former middleweight champ is going to court after he attacked the man in Vegas.
Colby Covington Talks Sean Strickland Legal Issues in Las Vegas
“He was a washout in my division, he couldn’t handle it in my division, he got beat up, knocked out because he couldn’t cut it. I think he’s a bum, he’s been hit in the head too many times, he’s got CTE. Anything that guy says you can’t follow along, that guys literally probably going to kill someone someday.
“He’s under investigation right now in Vegas. Some drunk guy was wandering the streets near his home, he goes outside the home, pistol-whips the dude in the middle of the street. He’s under crazy investigation in Vegas right now. He’s gonna be going to court,” Covington said about Strickland.
Based on evidence that’s been released recently, Strickland did hold a man at gunpoint who was hiding between his two vehicles, which led the police to arrest him. Whether or not this is the situation Covington is talking about is uncertain. Whatever the case, ‘Chaos’ seems to think Strickland will be going to court over this alleged incident.
At the time of this writing, Stickland has yet to respond to Covington’s claims and whether or not he will remains to be seen.
What Next for Colby?
As for Colby Covington, there have been no fight announcements from him, since his most recent shot at gold in December. A lackluster performance against Leon Edwards resulted in the welterweight contender requiring surgery.
Consistent callouts for Ian Garry are yet to pan out. Regardless, fans would seem to have a real appetite for that fight to materialise later in the year.
