Media Colby Covington responds to critics after Dana said he is next up for a title shot

"This isn't a sport" Colby Covington.

Dude hasn't had a quality win his entire career, every ranked win this man's ever had was over a fighter 37 years or older. And he's rewarded for it.

Now he comes out of hiding? He’s a good fighter but as a human being he shouldn’t breed.
 
Even from a business perspective, it’s weird. Colby is unknown to most casual fans, and most educated fans know he probably isn’t the most deserving contender, especially after he’s already had two chances in the past few years. So how does this generate more buys than any other challenger would?

Then again, the UFC is doing the exact same thing at heavyweight….
 
He’s right though

ufc isn’t too big to fail like the nfl, nba, ect..

You can say the same about Usman, Burns and Belal

Not true of Belal at all, Brady and Luque weren't washed or old fighters. Usman you cannot say the same about either, his wins over Colby twice alone prove that but Burns wasn't 37, he was 34. Colby is a far worse case than Belal or Usman but I'll give it to you, this era of WW has sucked and was filled with aging past generation WWs and undersized LWs moving up to achieve an easy ranking.

"Go make yourself likeable" ...as advised... by Colby Covington...

Anyway, his point sucks, cuz he's less of a star than Mas. Edwards JUST defended, and Mas is fighting in less than 3 weeks. You think they can't wait to book the next defense after that and cross their fingers that the bigger star than Colby wins, so they can put Edwards-Masvidal together?
Hell, Edwards still hasn't even gotten his feet scanned yet. Who says he isn't injured, and ready to come back after Conor faces Chandler at welterweight. Colby wants to talk about this being an entertainment business, he better be ready to lose his spot to people who are more entertaining than him.

Meh he had two great fights vs Usman and dominated Masvidal who was given a second shot at Usman for his big mouth. Its amazes me how many people shit on Colby but praise Masvidal when the latter is even worse.

BTW not a fan of Colby outside of the cage at all, but he is definitely the #2 or 3 in the division currently.

He needs to prove that. He got two title shots and lost them both, he should have to earn the third rather than living off his own hype. Belal is 8-0-1 in his last 9 with multiple top 10 wins.

Forgot to mention: If Leon or Masvidal is at the top, it'll be an easier time coaxing Conor to a super fight. Colby, as the wrestler he is, not so much. So not only is Colby the lesser star here, he's the lesser potential for superstardom.
