Khabib Nurmagomedov is sharing his thoughts on the Colby Covington-Jorge Masvidal situation.

The former UFC lightweight champion sounded off on Covington, saying fighters should boycott bouts with the welterweight after his decision to press charges against Masvidal, who was later arrested.

“You were attacked by professional fighter, the same as you are, your own size, and you go press charges against him to the police?”, he said on Twitter, via TMZ Sports.

“I think all welterweights should refuse to fight Colby, just don’t accept fights with him, let him sit without a fight, it will probably significantly affect him and all fighters who even think of insulting families, who is provoking the fighters to look for someone in restaurants to deal with him.”Masvidal was charged with aggravated battery with a mask, and criminal mischief.

According to reports, Masvidal and Covington came face to face outside of Papi Steak in Miami Beach and a physical altercation broke out. Per TMZ, Masvidal waited for Covington to exit the restaurant where he had been eating dinner with the Nelk Boys. Social media posts tipped Masvidal off to Covington’s location and when Covington exited the restaurant Masvidal allegedly attacked him.
