After his UFC 225 win over Rafael dos Anjos to become the interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington earned some respect from the MMA community, at least insofar as being a fighter is concerned. But it remains true so many let their animus towards him impact their judgment of what he’s accomplishing, inside and outside of the Octagon. His behavior is also setting up an epic showdown with current champion Tyron Woodley.

Might as well just say him by name – Mike Chiappeta. Worst employee on MMAF, website was a better place without him, unless the goofy mmahour crony ric actually works there. In that case it'd be a close race.
But Leftist Luke, when you say Tyron Woodley's a 'bright guy,' do you mean Tyron Woodley's bright & well spoken for a black man, implying black men are not historically bright, when compared to their white equivalent's? >< Are you an unwitting agent of White Supremacy & anti-black sentiment believing UFC Welterweight Harambes' fast twitch muscle mass requires higher levels of oxygen the deeper he or other black men of similar body type go into a fight?!?! DAS' RACIS' LUKE ><
Being offended is pathetic. Colby seems fairly dumb, and he stammers through the same premeditated lines over and over again. But if you allow yourself to experience negative emotion as a result of something he says, you really should refocus your energy on building a meaningful life for yourself.
RDA knew he lost. His body language was off and his head was down. Colby 4-1 easily not close imo.
Did not know people based fighting on mic skills….
If Colby's act is so fake and cringe, why are you all so triggered then?
Fake or not, guess what? IT'S WORKING..
Colby is so lame.. Woodley destroys him.
If Colby loses to Woodley, what do we have? A guy who beat Maia, RDA and lost to one of the most dangerous man on the planet? Not a bad resume even if he loses.
I disagree.. Colby is NOT like Conor, Colby goes after people who have nothing to do with his opponent or the UFC for the matter. Conor’s trash talk was directed at his opponents not NFL teams or other organizations etc. Colby’s trash talk is based off lies and fabricated stuff. I don’t recall Conor lying on other people to make himself look good.
