Colby Covington has set his crosshairs on the newest high-profile addition to the Ultimate Fighting Championship170-pound division, former One Championship and Bellator MMA welterweight champion Ben Askren.
With the ink on Askren’s UFC contract barely dry, Covington wasted no time tearing into the undefeated wrestler on a recent episode of BJPenn.com Radio. According to “Chaos,” it is comical that the UFC has handed Askren a debut fight with a top-5 opponent in former champ Robbie Lawler, considering the level of his previous opposition.
“He’s a 34-year-old virgin,” Covington said.
