Despite his typically brash persona, Colby Covington has a lot of respect for both competitors of Saturday night’s championship fight in Las Vegas.
In the main event of UFC 252, Stipe Miocic will defend his heavyweight title against Daniel Cormier in the third and final meeting between two of the very best the division has ever seen. Additionally, it’s expected to be the final fight of Cormier’s incredible career.
Covington holds Cormier and his accomplishments in high regard ahead of the former two-division champion’s swan song.
“I’ve got a lot of admiration and respect for Daniel Cormier,” Covington told MMA Fighting.
