Letting everyone know that he has not said a word about the match, or agreed to anything. Dana further went on to state how this is a match he likes and that he would be interested in making at a further date this year.
Dana was further asked about Colby Covington another welterweight fighter who has had a run-in that ultimately resulted in a legal case against another fighter, Jorge Masvidal in March of this year. Masvidal, was seen running up from behind and sucker punching Colby outside a restaurant in Miami. Colby had his tooth knocked out and damage done to his Rollex. This event took place after Colby beat Jorge via decision for their bout at UFC 272. Masvidal is accused of aggravated battery and criminal mischief.
