Colby Covington took aim at Cathal Pendred on twitter over the weekend with a serious of frankly embarrassing tweets after the Irishman's somewhat controversial win over Sean Spencer on the undercard of Conor McGregor's win over Dennis Siver last weekend.
The worst of Covington's juvenile tweets was this one that he deleted:
Covington continued his tirade with imaginative photoshops and tired references:

You know what violence is? That's American wrestling and Conor fears our kind. @irishred5times @ufc @TheNotoriousMMA @PendredMMA

Pendred did eventually respond to the vitriolic tweets
@ColbyCovMMA You clearly don't know what you are talking about. Your stupidity is unbelievable! Fighting was obviously your ONLY option.
