Spoiler Alert: Colby Covington Ruins Avengers: Infinity War For Fans
UFC welterweight and all around ‘bad boy’ Colby Covington has made more enemies than friends, and his latest social media stunt has made him even more haters.

Covington’s subtweets are awash with many an angry Avengers fans. Now your average non-MMA fan knows who Colby Covington is, and for the worst kind of reasons.
Covington has been making a name for himself in the UFC with his abrasive form of trash talk. Coupled with a career-defining win against Demian Maia in his last outing, Covington’s platform for talking trash has gained new dimensions.
‘The Avengers’ was released on Thursday night, and Covington was there the next day posting spoilers to ruin it for everyone.
