UFC star dares rapper 50 Cent to fight him

The Grammy award-winning rapper mocked Covington and his injuries on instagram after his fifth round TKO defeat to Kamaru Usman in the main event at UFC 245.

And the welterweight fighter hasn’t taken too well to the criticism.

He said in an interview with ESPN: “Nah, I didn’t break my jaw in the fight. Does my jaw look broken?

“I’ve been smiling. I’ve been with all my mamacitas , you know? The only person that’s gotten their jaw wired shut is 50 Cent.

“If you want to talk about people who’ve gotten their jaw wired shut, let’s talk about 50 Cent.

He says, ‘Oh, I got shot nine times.’ If he got shot one time by me, he wouldn’t get back up. 50 Cent is a little [expletive].”

“He came out after the fight and was talking mad crap on me.

“He was saying all this stuff about me, talking all this smack. ‘Oh, that “MAGA” fighter Colby Covington.’ He was putting all these Instagram posts up.”

50 Cent has been involved in previous spats with mixed martial arts stars Conor McGregor and Quinton Jackson.

Covington added: “I want to do a celebrity boxing match. I’m going to tie one hand behind my back and I’m going to fight 50 Cent.

“I’m going to put up one million of my dollars. I want to fight 50 Cent in a celebrity boxing match.

I’ll donate all of my money to the troops because I love the troops so much. They protect our freedom. They put it all on the line for America. I want to fight 50 Cent.

Celebrity fights have attracted the public’s attention in recent times, with YouTuber Logan Paul and NFL star Antonio Brown said to be in negotiations for a boxing match.

Paul has already fought fellow YouTuber KSI twice, with both contests drawing huge audiences
