I find it funny that the mma media is making a thing out of this.
Colby Covington’s verbal attack on Miesha Tate results in radio-show ban

A Wednesday interview featuring host Miesha Tate and guest Colby Covington quickly devolved into a bitter verbal spat, ending in the former UFC interim welterweight champion getting banned from a satellite radio show.
Speaking on the “MMA Tonight” show on Sirius XM, Covington lashed out at Tate after she questioned his approach to promoting this past Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 5 main event against Robbie Lawler.
Tate wanted to know why Covington labeled Lawler a “legend” when he’d verbally attacked his other opponents. That prompted Covington to accuse Tate of talking behind his back in previous interviews.
“It gets back to me,” Covington said. “All the people say how (you say) negative thoughts about me, and how I’m this and that. I just think it’s very hypocritical, because I don’t think you’re a perfect person. You might have some skeletons in your closet, as well.”
Tate, a former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, said she’d never wavered in her low opinion of trash talk in the sport, and said she wasn’t attacking Covington personally. But the UFC’s No. 1 welterweight contender went for the jugular and called Tate a hypocrite who “got famous off losing to my girl Ronda Rousey” and “putting pictures on the internet.”
Covington claimed Tate called his approach “disgusting” and unfit for Asia’s ONE Championship, where she serves as a vice president. Tate corrected Covington by attributing those words to her boss, ONE CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
Tate said she felt “disrespected” by Covington’s outburst.
“I don’t even know what to say right now,” she said. “It’s kind of crazy that you would go on that level just because I have an opinion, that you as an American should have respect for the fact that at least I have the balls to say it to your face, and that’s my opinion, and I’m entitled to it. I did not put you down as a person. You put me down as a person.”

People seem to forget that Tate was considered kind of a bitch before Ronda was such an overwhelming cunt on TUF that it made her look like an angel in comparison.
