It's no secret that, currently, fighters who know how to express themselves and master trash talk have certain advantages in MMA. Tito Ortiz, Chael Sonnen, Michael Bisping e Conor McGregor took advantage of this and an athlete who tries to enter this select hall is Colby covington. The fighter, who has a commitment scheduled against Tyron woodley, UFC Las Vegas 11, an event that will be held on Saturday (19), in the USA, did not forgive his rival.
In the pre-show press conference, 'Chaos' minimized the quality of the former welterweight champion (77kg) and believes that the only risk he runs in the fight is if he sings. Furthermore, Covington regretted the fact that the meeting with journalists was not with his rival, as he intended to torment him and promised to end his career.

“This is a big fight, there's a lot of rivalry and we want to rip each other's heads off, but it's not the biggest challenge of my career. I represent capitalism and he represents communism. I'm not worried about what Woodley might do. The only thing that worries me is if he raps in the octagon. I would love to provoke him in person, come face to face and look that coward in the eye. The only race Woodley will make is to leave the UFC. He is fragile and has no heart. I always knew that when we fought, it would be easy for me. This fight is easy money and I'm going to expose Woodley. I'm going to sink him!” said Covington.
Covington, who left American Top Team after Jorge masvidal e Dustin poirier criticizing Dan Lambert, leader of the academy, provoked the duo, implying that they performed better by not encountering their enemies.
“The preparation was very good. There were no people complaining about me or asking me to leave the gym because I was saying bad things. The guys who fight and try to kill each other are upset by the trash talk. Anyone who is dissatisfied, just talk to me,” she said.
Regarding the future, Covington revealed which two fights interest him and mocked the partnership between Woodley and Masvidal for that fight.
“I want to fight Usman or Masvidal, They are cowards! These are the two fights I'm going after after Woodley's career ends. Woodley is smart and trained with Masvidal to learn how to lose. I trained with Masvidal for nine years and I beat him every day. He's a joke! Now, Woodley has learned how he will lose to me,” he lashed out.
The name of Gilbert Durinho It was also mentioned at the press conference, but the American ignored it.
"Who? Who is it? Never heard of it. Did they pick some random guy to face Usman for the belt? How bizarre!” he concluded.
The duel against Tyron woodley marks the return of Colby covington to the octagon, after being knocked out by Kamaru Usman in the fight that won the UFC welterweight (77kg) belt, in December 2019. Before that, the bad boy had won seven consecutive fights, including important names like Demian Maia, Rafael dos Anjos e Robbie Lawler.
