UFC Veterans Advise Colby Covington to Drop the Gimmick to Win Back Fans and Respect

UFC veterans Jessica Penne and Angela Hill believe Colby Covington should drop his gimmick in order to win back the respect of fans.

Last weekend, Colby Covington went head to head with Joaquin Buckley in the main event of UFC Tampa. It was a hard-fought affair through three rounds but unfortunately, it came to an end as a result of a doctor stoppage.

The decision was made due to a cut on the eyelid suffered by Colby Covington. The doctor in question was heard saying that there was a chance he could lose the eyelid if it continued to get worse, and from there, the referee waved off the action in Florida.
