“I think Woodley can win the fight. He can land a punch, knock him out and be done with it. I had some guys from my gym, the Colby covington Inc. and MMA Masters, who went to train with Jake Paul in Miami. They all said the same information, that they went there and made him look bad,” Covington said.
In addition to betting on Woodley, Covington also told ‘behind the scenes’ about the training of Jake Paul. According to him, some friends have already trained with the YouTuber, who just likes to have an easier path to increase his confidence on the eve of a fight.
“They turned off the cameras (in training) and didn’t take photos of that day. They never invited these guys back, because Jake Paul he just wants kids he can knock out, boost his ego and boost his confidence. He doesn't want guys who are going to face him in the gym and make him better, because like we talked about before, he's not a real fighter. He’s a little Disney star”, concluded the American.
With a provocative style, Colby covington will be the next challenger for the welterweight belt and will face Kamaru Usman No. UFC 268, scheduled to take place on November 6th. The American will seek revenge for the knockout he suffered against the Nigerian in December 2019. He has a record of 16 victories and two setbacks.
