UFC star Colby Covington has slammed Jake Paul and Logan Paul by labelling the brothers as "f****ng bums".
Covington has previously spoken about his dislike for both of the brothers, who rose to fame on the now-defunct social media platform Vine before achieving YouTube fame. Jake has ditched his internet career to become a boxer whilst Logan is making waves with the WWE after also having a few boxing fights.
In a segment called 'Rate my Drip' with TNT Sports, Covington said of Jake: "Oh my gosh, Snake Paul. That's a 1 out of 10 fit at best, the guy is a f****ng clown. He's not even a real fighter he's a poser. Has to fight 40-year-old washed up fighters because he can't beat anybody in his prime. He's a joke of a human and I don't even know why he's on this screen.

Covington didn't stop there as he went on to state that Logan is even more unbearable than Jake. "Oh, Logan Paul, even worse. Both f****ng bums. I will say, one time he bought me a bottle of wine though when we were at the Hard Rock Casino. That was a nice thing, he knew a real fighter was in his presence. He's not a real fighter, yikes," he said.

Jake makes his ring return tonight when he fights unknown professional boxer Andre August in Orlando. 'The Problem Child' suffered his first boxing defeat in February at the hands of Love Island star Tommy Fury but returned to winning ways in August by beating Nate Diaz. Covington welcomed a fight against Jake last year but explained why he thinks it would never happen.
"He wouldn't want to fight me, he doesn't want to fight a real fighter like me. He wants to look for guys who are washed up past their prime. He doesn't want to fight a young, hungry lion like me that is in his prime. I know Jake Paul doesn't want it, I'd be interested in it but he wouldn't be interested in it," Covington told Full Send podcast.
Paul then responded to Covington's comments by taking aim at his legal issue with Jorge Masvidal, which has since been resolved after Masvidal took a plea deal in his misdemeanour battery case with friend-turned-rival Covington. "Chris Rock didn't press charges but Colby Covington did lol. Just shows you how much of a p**** Colby is. Make fighters not soft again," Jake tweeted.
