A better question is;
Will Covington get a title shot if he loses tonight?
I mean if he looks good while losing, maybe.
Star power is big.
And Buck may get a bad decision win.
Maybe not.maybe he deserves a title shot.
Freak flash KOs happen sometimes and have no predictive value regarding future performance of the winner. They're a terrible reason to elevate a fighter to a title shot.Only if he wins by KO in 5 second.
An luminary*I keep wondering though. What star power? Does he sell pay-per-views? Does he pack them stadiums? I'm genuinely asking.
He did manage to troll the president but the man's hardly a luminary.
