Covington: "If Khabib comes up to WW, he's gonna get his head dunked, and balls put on his forehead"

[Arm Barbarian]

Colby at it again. haha

Covington - "I don't think he's that impressive. He couldn't even finish a Real Estate Agent. That's f*cking sad. He just goes forward and looks for takedowns and pressure, he doesn't have any striking power. He's not a well-rounded fighter like myself."

As obnoxious as he is, he may have a point though. There are some solid grapplers at 170, and these guys are quite a bit bigger & stronger than LW.

What say you? Can Khabib make the transition up to welterweight and be competitive with the top 5? He did already beat RDA, albeit at 155.

Time-stamped:

 

[DanaWhitesButler]

Colby sounds hopeful and sexually aroused

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

That real estate agent I reckon, would kick Colbys ass.

 

[UL]

you'll get a bazooka up your ass instead of a boomerang

 

[Thad Castle v2]

well rounded he ain't

 

[VitorBelfoTRT]

Love Khabib, but even he knows this. Thats why hes willing to kill hisself to make 55. His reach and frame wouldnt translate that well in the division.

 

[Silverstar17]

He seems to develop a Schaub-esque obsession but with balls.

Also I don't see how skill-wise he has anything over Khabib. Actually I'd say Khabib is a better version of him.

Dream fight

He has pretty short reach even for 155 yes, but frame??? The guy is freakishly strong for his size and would maul WWs on the ground as well.

 

[Arqueto]

Colby is compensating for floating hand on pornstars syndrome.

Khabib will be fine at 170, will definitely be more competitive but it's all good.

American raw steel and sex appeal vs the eagle of Dagestan

Has $$$$$ written all over it

Definitely can maul the striker WW's but as for the big grapplers like Woodley, Covington, and Maia? Dont know about that.

 

[yookfarb]

Colby is an underdog against a guy Khabib dominated and Ferguson chased out of the division. WW is not this stacked murderers row anymore, esp with Bellator leeching talent

 

[Gambit MMA]

He can outstrike Maia for sure. Woodley, Covington and usman are the tough as well as wonderboy

Would be competitive, for sure, but fighters cut weight for a reason. Woodley KOs him most likely.

 

[BKB92]

You know this, Khabib

[Breaking]

God, he’s insufferable...

[Bend NvR Break]

I don't think it's going to happen but I hope RDA butchers him.

Sadly we're going to see a wrestling match most likely.
