Colby Covington makes a great argument for exclusive contracts.
“He gets taken down with two legs, that’s the whole fight, 40 seconds,” said Henry Cejudo, a retired UFC bantamweight and current RAF major. his Pound 4 Pound podcast with Kamaru Usman. “Look at this hostess and she’s supposed to beat Khamza Chimajev next damn week? Colby Covington, you’re not the king of shit anymore. It hurts. I think people will get over it. If she can come out and beat Khamza Chimajev, people will forget about it, or maybe she thinks Raul Raashi is going to get back. Again to him.”
“First of all, I would say this: it’s inexcusable because of your name and the brand you’ve built,” Usman added. “It’s inexcusable. Now we, real fighters and competitors, know how tough and different they are. Super different. Wrestling and jiu-jitsu are completely different. So Raul Rosas caught him off guard, got in there and put him away. You could see (Coviton’s) face. He wasn’t ready for that level of intensity right away. For a man, he wasn’t ready for that intensity. intensity.”
