Stop Colby Covington from the list of potential opponents for Leon Edwards on UFC Fight Night 187.
Covington is reportedly on the shortlist as a possible replacement for Khamzat Chimaev after ‘Borz”s withdrawal from the UFC Fight Night 187 main event where he would meet ‘Rocky’, but ‘Chaos’ does not want to do charity work.
Leon Scott did not deserve anything, boys. I’m in the Colby Covington Incorporated Championship industry, I’m not in Leon Scott’s charity business, ‘Covington said in a recent interview with Submission Radio, excluding mainly a brief notice about Edwards (c / o Jordan Ellis of Low Kick). MMA).
‘I fight on top of the mountain and fight against the best in the world. Did Marty Fakenewsman get a call from the president after his last fight? Oh miss, I wonder why? Because he sucks, he is irrelevant. So I did things that no one has ever done in this sport. ”
‘I’m not doing charity business anymore. It is not my fault that this child did not fight in two years. It’s not my fault this child – there are people from England fighting in the pandemic all the time, they are not afraid to fight. So I do not do charity for this man who has not fought for two years. He’s irrelevant, he’s beaten a bunch of bums and I’m not doing charity. It’s no charity hour, it’s fucking champions fucking pay-per-view hour. ”
Covington would rather have a second chance with Kamaru Usman at championship and claim that Jorge Masvidal is trying to steal his thunder.
“Let’s talk about real issues, let’s not talk about charities anymore,” he said. ‘I deserve it and I deserve a fight for the world title. “I just destroyed the former champion, finished him off like no one had completed him in the UFC before,” said Covington. “I came back and won a fight. What did Jorge Masvidal do other than sit on the sidelines and pull fake fuck out of the fights? He is afraid to fight. He knows he’s flushed, he’s a traveler. He’s looking for another payday. Nobody wants to see the man fight for the title, they know what’s going to happen. This will be the same exact outcome. And why reward such a coward? A guy who is blatantly afraid to fight? ‘
Covington lost to Usman through the fifth round in December 2019, but bounced back with his own win over Tyron Woodley at UFC Vegas 11. The 32-year-old wrestler for wrestling is currently No. 1 on the UFC welterweight rankings.
UFC Fight Night 187, which is currently without a major event, will take place on March 13 at the UFC Apex facility in Las Vegas.
