Colby Covington loves trash-talking, and he doesn’t care who he’s up against. This has made him one of the biggest entities in the UFC, with numerous high-grossing PPVs under his belt. He doesn’t shy away from sharing his opinions and comes out whenever he gets an opportunity.
However, it doesn’t end there. In fact, he craves an opportunity to make a snide remark and pulls out his iconic troll-face smile. In a similar fashion, a throwback video sees him making a personal jibe at a journalist.
