Yes, you read that headline correctly.
MMA star Polyana Viana reckons Colby Covington got upset with her when she refused to finger his butthole.
We're used to seeing UFC villain Covington take below-the-belt shots at his fellow fighters, but how the tables have turned.
Now the trash-talking welterweight's own dirty laundry has been aired out – and fans, rather unsurprisingly, are loving it.

Out of absolutely nowhere, UFC strawweight Viana decided to send social media into meltdown by tweeting about her sex life with Covington.
She said: "Colby wanted me to finger him in the ass, but I did not want to. He got upset!"
Viana probably thought about deleting the tweet, but that wasn't before it went viral online and racked up a bunch of likes and comments.
On the surface, her tweet appeared unprovoked, but it seems there's more to the story if you scratch beneath the surface.

Once lovers, perhaps, these two are clearly no longer on good terms after Covington over-shared their intimate secrets.
Back in 2021, during an interview with Submission Radio, Covington claimed he snubbed a potential scrap with now-UFC champion Leon Edwards because he was 'balls deep' in teammate Viana.
“There wasn’t much talks [for the Edwards bout],” Covington said.
“I was busy, balls deep in Polyana Viana, so to get me off the couch on three weeks’ notice to fight some Leon guy, it was going to have to be a price tag. Everybody’s going to have to use their imagination on that one. I’m not claiming to be her boyfriend, but what’s up with titles these days? Why does there have to be a title? Why can’t two adults just have fun together?”
It didn't take long for Viana to fire back, issuing a scathing response of her own.

She said: “I have never given room for any kind of comment or judgment about my personal life, but it is not for me to judge the person’s attitude. I feel sorry for those who act so low to try to promote themselves. It is revolting.”
Now, over a year later, and Viana has dished some dirt on Covington's kinks in the bedroom.
I mean, each to their own, right?
But there's not doubting that Covington's 170-pound opponents will have some extra trash-talk ammunition for when they bump into him at a UFC press conference.

On top of that, Covington - as we all know - usually hits back at his rivals rather quickly with some sort of dribble.
As of right now, though, crickets.
