Colby Covington: 'I Know I’m the Best Welterweight on Earth'

[El Fernas]

He lost to Usman and Edwards and neither was a fluke or comeback from behind win, he lost fair and square on all of the title fights, is he good? yeah, just not the best WW.

 

[shogunrua]

Dude is gonna go inactive for another 2 years again and fight a lame ass fight again.

 

[AmonTobin]

This guy isn't even clickbait worthy. Colby you're fake news.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Well MMA fighters get some of the best...

"PLAAAAAAAYA PLAY OOOOON, I CANT HATE YOU HOOOMIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!"

If he was the best he would've besten Usman or Leon for one of his many underserved title shots.

Hell if he was the best he would've beaten a contender to deserve one of those shots.

Usman and Khamzat are middleweights now. They should be fighting ranked middleweights. Having them rematch each other doesn't move either of them up the division.

Lol brainfart. I meant Shavkat. I doubt Usman stays at 185, path to Gold is too long. Beat Shavkat and he very well gets another crack at Leon or Belal.

 

[Ogata]

I was a Colby Covington even after his loss but then I realized I missed out on the Wonderboy insult and that was/is unforgivable to accuse him of a heinous act. Baseless accusation and Wonderboy should sue his ass fore defamation and Colby cant say shit since he is sue happy as well and always does the whole " I am a model citizen" schtick.

Despite a lackluster performance in his welterweight title loss to Leon Edwards this past December, Colby Covington claims to be the division’s top dog.




While many considered Covington undeserving of the third title shot of his career, Dana White insisted “Chaos” fight Edwards at UFC 296. Edwards thoroughly dominated Covington in a forgettable affair in which the American claimed to have broken his foot in the first 30 seconds. Covington also inexplicably believed he did enough to win and blamed political bias for the scorecards.

A couple months removed from that defeat, Covington insists that he is the best welterweight on the planet and wants to prove it more than anything else. Covington even sees himself earning yet another title shot with another victory and is willing to take on whoever the promotion offers.

“I am the title of this division, I’m the welterweight savior,” Covington told “Submission Radio”. “I’m the biggest draw in this division, there is a reason everyone calls my name. Fights are easy to get and dunk on these nerds. I’m King of Miami, I’m America’s champ, the people’s champ, Donald Trump’s favorite fighter. I’m in a title fight every time I fight, everybody knows that. To get back to that undisputed title, whoever is the biggest and best name that the UFC tells me I have to go through to get there, that is what I’m willing to do. I want that title more than I want to breathe, more than I want to live. I’m in my prime, I’m 35 years young, I haven’t taken any damage in my career, especially in that last fight, Leon didn’t leave a scratch on my face.

“There were a couple of tiny little bruises on my leg, big f—-ig deal, I landed double strikes as him. I know I’m the welterweight champion. I know I’m the best welterweight on Earth. Just because three judges didn’t decide it for me that night, that is not going to affect my future and how I train and my preparation every day. I work hard, blue-collar American, I’m a 24/7, 365 fighter. I’m not a part-time fighter,” Covington added.

Worth a laugh emoji, only.

 

[SuperNerd]

Nah.

Colby has to prove he doesn't look like Woodley or Ferguson in his next fight.

 

[Domitian]

You might be like the 16th best WW in the world Colby.

Does Colby have delusions of grandeur?

He's the best welterweight on Earth - except on the nights that he fights for the title

 

[PeterGriffin]

I think Colby should be tested for CTE. He is clearly not firing on all cylinders.

 

[jsbx45]

Stop losing then.

 

[cheesus]

As delusional as his daddy

 

[Xoleth]

 

[CPH]

Colby has lost the one thing that made him good: his confidence. I think it was the hooded feller outside the restaurant who nicked it.

Nah. He just had nowhere to go but double down on anything he's committed to these past few years.
He could have shown he's grown and moved past that shtick but he's an idiot with zero sense of dignity, so here we are.

#NotMyHero #UFCisDying

Is it just me or have you somehow changed tack and went with this seemingly deliberate style of writing like a non-native speaker of the language?
