The former UFC welterweight title challenger Colby Covington has shared his prediction that Charles Oliveira will defeat Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier as the two men is set to lock horns at UFC 269. Dustin Poirier was recently stunned by bloated Conor McGregor photos.
Colby Covington says Charles Oliveira will win
Further, Covington predicted that Poirier will make the move up to 170lbs, one that Poirier himself has been hinting at for some time now. In a video uploaded to his Instagram, ‘Chaos’ called Poirier ‘Louisiana swamp trash’ and spoke in favor of Oliveira. Here is what he had to say:
“Greetings nerds and virgins. America’s champ is back for America’s pick of the week, brought to you by Colby Covington incorporated and the undisputed king of sportsbooks, MyBookie.ag. We got UFC 269 tonight, headlined by my good buddy, Louisiana swamp trash Dustin Soyrier and that Mr Ed looking Brazilian jebrony Charles Oliveira. This line is inflated, just like Dustin’s ego. Oliveira’s gonna look like a D1 All-American out there. Dustin’s getting taken down, and then he’s gonna be forced to move up to my division.”

UFC lightweight champion Charles Oliveira is set to defend his title against former holder Dustin Poirier at UFC 269, taking place in Las Vegas on Saturday. The 32-year-old Brazilian is very keen on defending his title, having earned it with a knockout win against Michael Chandler at UFC 262 in May.
The lightweight title had been left vacant by Khabib Nurmagomedov, who retired as an undefeated champion after beating Justin Gaethje in October last year. On the other hand, Poirier comes into the title clash after beating Conor McGregor at UFC 264. UFC 269 also features a championship match between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Peña.
