Colby Covington’s UFC 272 performance is now garnering mixed reviews. For respected boxing analyst and former trainer Teddy Atlas, “Chaos” showed a side of his striking game that people aren’t giving him enough credit for.
Former referee and Bellator color commentator “Big John” McCarthy saw it slightly differently. Long story short, he doesn’t see Covington as a fighter that people would generally want to watch.
“Colby Covington is never gonna be an exciting fighter. I’m sorry,” McCarthy told Josh Thomson in a recent episode of their Weighing In podcast.
