Colby beating up Lawler in training and making Woodley quit is well documented.
“There’s not a guy that can do what I can do right now,” Covington said. As far as a good stylistic matchup—Robbie Lawler is good for me. I used to give him so many beatings he left [ATT] because of what I was doing to him. I think that’s a pretty easy stylistic matchup for me. #TyronWoodley too, when he was here he never used to like to train with me because of my pressure and pace was too much for him—I used to break him. It’s not going to be pretty if you fight me man. It’s going to be a test of wills and I think I can break anyone.”
