Colby Covington doesn’t think too highly of Chael Sonnen’s ‘American Gangster’ persona.
Chaos’ is coming off yet another welterweight title loss, falling short in his third attempt at claiming UFC gold against reigning and defending world champion Leon Edwards. Following the devastating defeat, Covington appeared on the Patrick Bet-David podcast to discuss his return at UFC 296 and what may come next.
Along the way, the perennial contender threw some shade at a plethora of UFC talent, past and present. When likened to the UFC’s O.G. trash-talker, Chael Sonnen, Covington praised Sonnen’s tough-guy persona, sarcastically noting that it must have been tough growing up on the mean streets of Orgeon with parents who were only bringing in six figures.
