Title Snub Part II
Not content to just vent his rage at Dana White in particular over his title snub, Covington has within the last week went as far as to threaten to take legal action against the organization for denying him his chance to compete for the belt.
“We may have to go to court, and this may be a lawsuit, because let’s be honest: If [Tom] Brady wins the AFC championship and all of a sudden Roger Goodell says, ‘You’re not going to the Super Bowl because we don’t like you’ – no, that’s not how it works,” Covington told MMAjunkie.
Covington also suggested that he’d even be willing to sit out indefinitely until they give him what he feels he’s owed.
“[Other fights] are possibilities but they want me to go backwards and fight for a fifth of the paycheck they promised me,” Covington added. “That ain’t happening. I’m not fighting for a fifth of the paycheck that I was promised and that I’m owed and guaranteed and earned. They’re not gonna get anything less out of me. I’ll sit on the shelf all day. We’ll go to court. I’ll make it a living hell for the UFC. I don’t give a sh*t. They’re already trying to make my life a living hell. “
