Paul Felder is generally loved by MMA fans, both for the epic fights he gave us in the Octagon, and for his impeccable work as a cage-side commentator. According to welterweight star Colby Covington, however, Felder isn’t as squeaky-clean as some fans might guess.
During a recent appearance on Submission Radio, Covington was asked about some recent comments Felder made. Specifically, the UFC commentator claimed that Covington’s trash-talking shtick had lost some of its authenticity.
Covington, unsurprisingly, didn’t take kindly to that remark, and decided to spill the beans about an incident where Felder allegedly had a few too many drinks and got himself in trouble on a military base.
“He was talking sh*t about me, ‘Oh, he’s done this and that and some other sh*t, I want you to go ask him next time you see him in person,” Covington said (h/t MMA Mania). “Ask him about the time he was at Joint Base Langley-Eustis. The Army and Air Force base.
“He got tied in handcuffs by military police to a toilet in his bathroom because he was drunk on the base. Like that’s embarrassing, you self-loathing drunk a**hole. He must be drunk half the time. He’s in that commentary booth for the UFC. Man, I feel bad for the UFC. They need to get some new commentators. And what better man I could be. I could be the UFC commentator. I don’t have any stories like that.”
