Colby Covington is still rattling off excuses as to why he lost so badly to Joaquin Buckley at UFC Tampa last month.
Buckley landed nearly twice as many significant strikes as Covington over the three rounds their fight lasted. A punch split Covingtonâs eyelid open in the 1st round, and by the end of the 3rd Colby was getting absolutely battered. The ref paused the action to let the doctor look at the cut, and she waved the fight off saying she was worried the eyelid would come right off.
âIt was a close competitive fight,â Covington claimed in a new YouTube video entitled âMy Honest Reaction to UFC Fight Night in Tampa.â âHe didnât outclass me. He didnât drop me. He didnât really hurt me.â
âThere was a little cut that happened,â Covington said. âI rewatched the film, it was like minute two, it was like a headbutt ⌠It wasnât from a punch. So, you know, that thatâs the only thing that really limited my potential to to be at a 100% was the fact that I had blood draining in my eye. I couldnât see. Iâm seeing three, four different people. Itâs hard to keep fighting through that, but thatâs what I signed up for. Iâm a gladiator. This is what I love to do.â
âIn adversity moments like that, thatâs where I show my real character,â he continued. âTo push through and be able to rise up stronger. So itâs unfortunate that DEI doctor stopped the fight early. I feel like the fight was just getting started, and there was a lot more that needed to be settled in there.â
So according to Covington, it was a close competitive fight. But even if you disagree, itâs also because he wasnât training at all.
âI showed up for the company on two and a half weeks notice,â he said. âI wasnât even training. Didnât have any training partners, didnât get a proper training camp like this guy. He was in training camp for twelve weeks. He was preparing for the best version of someone. Iâm coming off the couch. This guy got me at 30%, and I still should have beat him on no notice.â
DEI Doctor"
Lolllllllllllll
Colby rules.
Look how squeamish she looks
GET back in the kitchen.
This right here would be enough to stop the fight.
DEI doctor⌠Does Colby have a little notebook with keywords to say now?
Knew he would go this route the moment the Dr called the fightâŚ
it only took him 2 weeks to put that whole statement together that we all knew was coming.
Not to mention now accusing the Free state of Florida, under the watch Of Deesantis, promoting DEI hires in their Athletic commission.
When right wing whites lose, they blame blacks, jews or them Mexicans.
Goddamn Biden!!!
DEI Doctor would be a great name for a sitcom.
IIRC she didnât even wipe it off or open it up to take a look before that school teacher âweâre done hereâ look she gave to Miragliotta.
Like Dr Detroit more or less
Dr DEI lollll
