Den frispråkige welterviktaren i UFC, Colby Covington, har stora mål planerade i hans fortsatta MMA-karriär. Den karismatiske amerikanen planerar att erövra bälten i flera viktklasser. Genom BJPenn Radio sade han att lättvikt som mellanvikt är två divisioner där han anser att han kan prestera i.
Yeah, you know, the thing is this. I could go up to 185 (pounds), or I could go down to 155 (pounds). I’ve been beating the best middleweights in the world at American Top Team for a long time. So, I could go up and whoop some middleweight’s (expletive). Or I could go down to 155. I decided early in my career that I would go to fight 170 (pounds). I’d take the belt at 170, and then I would go look for the biggest fight possible, you know? So, it looks like McGregor’s there at 155. So, you know, after I take the belt from Woodley, I’m going to be looking for that little Irish (expletive).
Covington sågs senast besegra Demian Maia i Brasilien under ”UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Machida” genom ett enhälligt domslut.
