Colby Covington: ‘I’m way too handsome to lose to a guy like Demian Maia’

[Wild]

Welterweight contender Colby Covington has been an outspoken figure in the UFC, to say the least. In his verbal tirades, he has so far targeted “mentally weak” Tyron Woodley, as well as Dong Hyun Kim and all judo practitioners, who for him are “leftover wrestlers that couldn’t make the team.”

Currently on a four-fight win streak, Covington is slated to face Demian Maia at UFC Fight Night 119 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. And so far, he is liking his chances.

“Demian Maia is a one-trick pony,” Covington told MMA Junkie. “He’s the same fighter he’s been his whole career. He’s not just going to change his game plan. He’s not a tricky guy to prepare for with the skill set that I have. The guys…

This is destiny!

Every time a fighter who starts getting some attention (yet no main stream person has know idea who the hell they are) and starts yapping like this...... A BIG ASS LOSS is about to be served to them. Otherwise known as MMA KARMA.

Anyone remember Vera back in the day? Started winning, looking good, then BOOM! Says first he's going to win the UFC HW Belt then drop to LWH and win that belt... Calling out the Champ Chuck Liddell, who laughed. Brandon lost his next fight and it went downhill from there in the UFC. Every time I hear a fighter like Colby (one who's been doing well but not faced any top relevant contender) talk shit like this, never fails a loss is a coming soon.

The script on Maia was written by masvidal........if..........if, you can fend off the ground attack and you have a stand up game you can beat him.
But, that being said, if you are a wrestler who depends on the ground as your ally then you might be in for a quick, tidy night without any significant strikes thrown or landed.

I have a feeling this will be Demian's retirement fight, win, lose or draw.

I would also like to point out that Colby’s not that handsome. Of the two of them I would say Demian has the advantage in the looks department
