Colby Covington dominates Dong Hyun Kim, declares himself ‘the uncrowned king’ at welterweight

Colby Covington is gunning for the welterweight title and he made a strong statement about that fact before and after his fight with Dong Hyun Kim on Saturday in Singapore.

A former All-American wrestler from Oregon State University, Covington has long been considered one of the top prospects at welterweight but now he has a signature win over a top 10 opponent as he starts looking to make even bigger waves in the division.

Making no mystery at his game plan, Covington rushed across the Octagon as soon as the fight started looking to get the fight to the ground while using his vast wrestling history against the top 10 ranked welterweight.
