Colby Covington var trogen sin ”karaktär” före, under eller efter sin 5-ronders fight mot Rafael dos Anjos vid UFC 225. Covington anklagar nu sin motståndare för fusk (läs längre ner i artikeln).
Covington besegrade dos Anjos, som han även kallade ”filthy animal”, i helgens co-main event i Chicago där han förlängde sin vinstsvit till 6 matcher och bevisade att han kan backa upp sina ord med atletisk prestation.
Kort efter att ha besegrat dos Anjos genom delat domslut så valde Covington att utfärda en utmaning till den tidigare UFC-mästaren Georges St-Pierre, som han kallade ”syrup-sucking canadian”, detta rapporterar MMA-Fighting.
Covington: I’m definitely interested in fighting GSP, that syrup-sucking Canadian. I’ll bury him where he stands. #UFC225

St-Pierre, som erövrade UFC-bältet i mellanvikt i november förra året, lämnade ifrån sin titel efter att ha blivit diagnosticerad med ulcerös kolit. Kanadensaren har lämnat dörren öppen för en comeback i oktagonen.
Anklagar Rafael dos Anjos för fusk
Efter UFC 225 valde Covington även att anklaga sin besegrade motståndare för fusk. Han hävdade att dos Anjos hade smörjt in sig med fett så att det skulle bli svårare för Covington att ta ner honom. Ni kan läsa utdrag från hans nyliga intervju med BJPenn.com Radio här nedan:
The gameplan was just beat him up. You know, strike, beat him up, take him down, beat him up. I know I’m the most well-rounded fighter on the planet. The UFC’s never seen someone like me. You don’t know how good I am until you’re in there with me. It’s a whole different level, so you know I knew I was going to beat him up on my feet.
I was gonna take him down and beat him up, but my takedowns weren’t as effective because he was definitely greasing. He was 100% greased. Usually, when I get those body locks behind you, there’s no way to slip out, but I could feel him slipping off, you know. He’s just another filthy animal, cheater greaser.
I think before the fight he was putting [on] the coconut butter, whatever they do, and then the baby oil or whatever I’ve heard of, so he definitely was doing it, because I tried a couple shots on his legs and literally my hands slipped from up on his top leg to like his ankle, and he was like, able to slither through on somebody locks that I had, and it’s not sweat.
I mean, I train every single day, I’ve wrestled my whole life, I know grips and I know positions and I know when you’re body is extra sweaty and greasy, and 100%, when I was shooting a couple takedowns, I could feel the grease on his back and on his legs.
