‘He’s Washed Up’: Colby Covington Bashes Conor McGregor Ahead of UFC 264
Follow Us
Colby Covington’s antics are infamous in the MMA community. His jabs on the mic are at par, if not more dangerous, with his jabs in the ring. There is one, however, who has proven his mastery on the microphone more than ‘Chaos’. Conor McGregor, with his swagger and exceptional mic skills, set the precedent of how to sell fights in the UFC.
That doesn’t reserve him from being a target to Covington’s antics.
In a recent interview with MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn, Covington analyzed where Conor McGregor’s career’s heading ahead of UFC 264. Covington, referring to McGregor as ‘Conman,’ said, “It’s funny you’re talking about ‘Conman’ McGregor and the Dustin fight. Conman’s washed up. I don’t even know why he is fighting. I mean, we know why he is fighting. His pride won’t let him stop from fighting.”
