Chaos Backstage at UFC 314: Covington and Pimblett Separated by Security
Let me tell you what went down behind the scenes at UFC 314—it wasn't just fireworks inside the Octagon. Paddy Pimblett, fresh off an electrifying TKO win over Michael Chandler, almost got into another fight… but this time, backstage—and with none other than Colby Covington.
So here’s the story. Paddy, aka "The Baddy," had just made a huge statement in Miami with his third-round finish over Chandler. The crowd was still buzzing, and Paddy used his post-fight interview to call out Charles Oliveira, clearly setting his sights on even bigger names in the lightweight division. But as he was doing some backstage media rounds, things took a turn.

While Pimblett was mid-interview, Colby Covington—never one to keep his opinions to himself—started throwing verbal jabs at him. Covington accused Paddy of fighting "scrubs," clearly trying to provoke him. And you know Paddy—he wasn’t about to just sit there and take it. He fired right back, threatening to slap the outspoken American, and started walking toward him like he was ready for round two.
It was chaos for a second. Security and UFC staff had to step in fast, literally getting between the two before it escalated. The shouting match didn’t stop, though. They kept barking insults at each other even as Colby was physically pulled away from the scene. It was intense. You could feel the tension even through the camera lens.
Covington, who’s already known for his trash talk and controversies, just added another chapter to his long list of confrontations. Paddy, meanwhile, continues to climb the ranks with both his performance and his ability to stir the pot. One thing’s for sure—this little backstage clash has fans already talking about what could be a blockbuster fight down the line.
Whether this turns into an actual matchup or just stays a viral moment, it’s clear: UFC 314 gave us more than we expected, both inside and outside the cage.
