There’s still no love lost between Colby Covington and Cathal Pendred.
The two UFC welterweights had an epic Twitter beef following Pendred’s split decision victory over Sean Spencer at UFC Boston. The American worked himself into a frenzy over Pendred getting the nod from the judges, and ended up offending the whole of Ireland.
On Friday, Covington reignited the feud when a fan successfully got a rise out of him on Twitter, but the Punisher was reluctant to get sucked into another trash-talking match initially.
Waste of time now unless #ufc really wants me to fight him so they can cut him. https://t.co/SZXmLvzceN

@neil_skippy @ColbyCovMMA I've blocked you for your own sake. Because otherwise you will lose your job. So take the hint you idiot!

@ColbyCovMMA You are an idiot, screaming for attention. You offended myself and my nation with your insensitive remarks. So shut your noise!

Pendred ended the social media quarrel by reminding Covington of an offensive comment he made about the Irish the last time the two battled it out on Twitter. Covington’s tweet was deleted after causing a furore but not before the Twitterati could get a screenshot.
.@ColbyCovMMA No Irishman would say this!
You would NEVER be welcomed in this country after that comment. pic.twitter.com/e4k68GfCX6— Cathal Pendred (@Pendred) July 18, 2015
That ended that.
