“I will bury Cathal Pendred like the British buried the Irish” – Colby Covington

It's fair to say that Colby "Chaos" Covington seems to have a massive beef with Ireland's Cathal Pendred

Covington was unimpressed with Pendred's contentious victory over Sean Spencer in Boston last weekend. Pendred was given the unanimous decision victory over Spencer at Fight Night 59, with the  judges scoring the bout 29-28, 30-27, 30-27 in favour of the Punisher. The result of the fight worked the Covington into so much of a frenzy that he felt the need to call out the Dubliner on Twitter. https://twitter.com/ColbyCovMMA/status/557009408727592960 https://twitter.com/ColbyCovMMA/status/557209132189896704 The American welterweight then turned his attention to the entire SBG contingent in the UFC, calling into question their abilities as mixed martial artists, before having another pop at Pendred. https://twitter.com/ColbyCovMMA/status/557369920892465152 https://twitter.com/ColbyCovMMA/status/558718863828074497 Pendred finally broke his silence last night, responding to Covington's trash-talking. The American then went to town on the Dubliner over the Boston fight again, implying that the former Cage Warriors champion is only in the UFC because of the popularity of Conor McGregor. While Pendred decided to hold his tongue, "Chaos" tweeted an endless slew of insults directed at Pendred for a few hours. https://twitter.com/PendredMMA/status/558781187942936576 https://twitter.com/ColbyCovMMA/status/558790326790672384 https://twitter.com/colbyCovMMA/status/558801747372941313 https://twitter.com/ColbyCovMMA/status/558778999514488832 https://twitter.com/ColbyCovMMA/status/558794915589922817 Not content with merely offending Pendred, Covington took aim at the entire country of Ireland and its diaspora. The tweet was deleted after causing a furore on social media but not before the Twitterati could get a screenshot.   Covington contested that his Irish heritage gave him carte blanche to send thee tasteless tweet. https://twitter.com/ColbyCovMMA/status/558878627883155456 Hat-tip to Reddit
