Ben Askren: Covington isn’t putting on an act, ‘he’s really that much of a dipsh-t in real life’

Colby Covington might be one of the most hated fighters on the UFC roster, but many fighters think the former interim UFC welterweight champion is putting on an act and playing up to the cameras.

According to retired UFC welterweight and former ONE FC and Bellator 170-pound champ Ben Askren, however, Covington is every bit as obnoxious and insulting behind closed doors as he is on TV and social media.

Speaking to Low Kick MMA’s Jordan Ellis in a recent interview, ‘Funky’ had no problem labelling ‘Chaos’ a ‘dipshit’ and ‘a terrible person’.

“Well, I think he’s a terrible person,” Askren said.
