UFC Welterweight Champion Belal Muhammad was among those roasting the polarizing Colby Covington after his latest defeat.
Saturday proved to be a difficult night for Covington, as the former interim titleholder returned to action for the first time since a third failed bid at securing the undisputed crown against Leon Edwards last December.
In his push to reinsert himself into the championship equation, "Chaos" accepted a short-notice UFC Fight Night headliner opposite the charging Joaquin Buckley in Tampa, looking to hand "New Mansa" his first loss since dropping to the division.
But the controversial veteran convincingly failed in that task, with Buckley putting a beating on him en route to a TKO via doctor's stoppage in round three.
While a cut caused the bout's end, there was little doubt over who was having the better of things. That, unsurprisingly, brought out Covington's sizable group of enemies and detractors.
As expected, champ Muhammad was among those enjoying the result...

"(laughing) man I knows he’s gonna have a bunch of excuses but he just sucks," Muhammad wrote on X.
Muhammad and Covington have frequently gone back and forth across recent years.
But with the former on the throne following his win over Edwards this past July and the latter far from challenging for it again post-UFC Tampa, it would appear that the chances of the pair settling their score inside the cage are now slim.
