‘Yeah, It’s Over’: Colby Covington Believes We Will Never See a Prime Conor McGregor Again
Follow Us
Conor McGregor’s recent trajectory in the UFC has left fans and critics questioning whether the ‘Notorious’ will ever return to his prime fighting form. However, for the UFC’s former interim Welterweight Champion, Colby Covington, the answer is clear. The Conor McGregor of old is gone for good.
In a recent interview with The Daily Wire, Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington was more than happy to give his thoughts about Conor McGregor and his future in the promotion. Dismissing the rumors of Conor going into his most recent fight with an ankle injury as an excuse, this is what he had to say
“Yeah, it’s over. I don’t think Conor brings anything to the table anymore. You can see the heart’s gone. He doesn’t have the same passion for the sport anymore. He’s not waking up at six am to go on these long runs or bike rides to make sure he’s in tip-top physical shape, he’s on his yacht, you know. Smoking joints, you know. Drinking his little whisky and hanging out with h*****s and doing that sort of stuff. So I think the best we’ve seen from Conor McGregor is in the past. We won’t see that ever again.” Colby said to the Daily Wire.

Infamous for his outrageous opinions, Covington seems to have got this one right. McGregor has now lost three of his last four fights; all three have been equally devastating. However, his most recent loss at Dustin Poirier coupled with a devastating leg break might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
