Colby Covington unsurprisingly had some strong opinions on former UFC champion Conor McGregor. The UFC welterweight title challenger has been firing shots on absolutely everyone he can including Jon Jones and Kamaru Usman.
Now Colby Covington has turned his attention to Conor McGregor. The former UFC champion had quite the fall from grace in recent years.
Covington spoke with James Lynch of MMANews and gave his thoughts on McGregor. He made it clear what he thought of the UFC lightweight.
“He just looks to get headlines. He’s just looking to stay in the spotlight, you know, get some attention around him because he’s coming off some losses. People are questioning if he still has it, what he’s still capable of doing. He’s made a lot of money, man. He had a great career and he’s had some special moments in the UFC and in his career where he’s made so much money that he’s so filthy rich that he thinks he’s above the law now.
“He thinks that money can buy you whatever you want, but money cannot buy you out of punching an old dude off a stool, or hitting someone’s phone, or throwing a trolley through a bus, or his latest at the music awards, trying (to attack) Machine Gun Kelly. It’s sad to see, man. It’s a big downfall. I don’t think things are gonna turn out good for him in the long run. I think he’s the type of guy that we will see this come back to haunt him and he could be behind bars someday.”
It's certainly harsh but Colby Covington has brought up points that people have made in the past. The question for the UFC contender is if he still has the same fire to compete.
