VIDEO: Joanna Jedrzejczyk Already Wins UFC 248 for Calling Colby Covington 'Not a Real Man'
By Michael Luciano
Ahead of her fight for the women's strawweight title at UFC 248 Saturday night, Polish MMA star Joanna Jedrzejczyk had controversial welterweight Colby Covington on her mind rather than incumbent champion Zhang Weili. TMZ caught Joanna in New York before her big showdown in Las Vegas, and she did not hold back her thoughts on the brash, controversial Covington, calling him " a prick" and "not a real man."
Despite the fact that both fighters train with American Top Team, sure looks like Covington isn't going to be invited to one of Joanna's post-fight celebratory get-togethers anytime soon.
Joanna also insisted that Covington was "humbled" after Kamaru Usman smashed his jaw into approximately 1,000 pieces to defend the UFC welterweight title in December. However, Covington hasn't started filtering himself after his loss to Usman. He challenged rapper 50 Cent to a fight just a week ago, while calling actress and critic Rosie O'Donnell a "fat pig" that is "losing 10-8 rounds to obesity."
Colby Covington responds to jabs from 50 Cent and Rosie O’Donnell:

“I want to fight 50 Cent next. You ain’t beat sh*t motherf*cker. I’m a real f*cking fighte ...what the f*ck has Rosie O’Donnell ever done? She’s losing 10-8 rounds to obesity” https://t.co/UBLAzjb2pg
Covington is the epitome of a "love him or hate him" type of athlete, but the pendulum has been shifting more towards the "hate" side with each passing day as fighters and fans alike show their displeasure for the brassy welterweight's rude antics. Count Joanna Jedrzejczyk among those who are tired of the whole thing.
