Keeping an eye on the long trajectory of Colby covington by UFC, Daniel Cormier opened the game and praised the North American's ability to reach great heights in the organization. To justify his opinion, the commentator respectfully highlighted the limitations that his compatriot has as a fighter.
“I believe, Joe, for everyone we watch in this beautiful sport we are honored to call, no one has done more with less than Colby covington. He's not the biggest, he's not the fastest, he's not the strongest. But, he wins. With these skills, he became a two-time NCAA All-American, was an interim UFC champion, fought for the belt twice and is fighting for the belt again,” said Cormier in an interview with Joe Rogan’s podcast.

As he continued his speech, Cormier highlighted the athlete's qualities and recognized Covington's great achievement.
“But nothing about Colby jumps off the page. He's meat and potatoes. Volume and cardio. But all of this comes with a lot of work. He won't jump higher than anyone, he won't run faster than anyone. But with his skills, he did it. This is crazy. We have a lot of people like that who don't accomplish what they want. Colby covington won”, he concluded.
