Colby Covington is arguably one of the best heels in UFC history. He has said many controversial things that have got him in trouble in the past. He was banned from the Palms, Las Vegas for involving a brawl with Kamaru Usman and his manager and recently he raised some eyebrows with her comments about Miesha Tate. And who can forget his post-fight interview speeches? he has called Brazil a dump and passed very insensitive comments about former UFC champion Matt Huges.

We just witness how much can he get into the skins of UFC fans. When he entered the arena ta UFC 241 with his welterweight interim belt and his classic trump hat, the crowd went berzerk and chanted “Colby Sucks”. It’s very rare to see a chant of this magnitude for a heel in UFC where most fighters respect their opponents instead of trash talking to get into their heads.
