Colby Covington is back doing media and that means the UFC welterweight's outrageous takes are back too. He's taken aim at the second boxing match between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley that took place back in December.
The knockout shocked everyone but Colby Covington claims it wasn't real. The UFC fighter claims the two fighters signaled to each other during the fight and even Woodley's mom was in on the fixed result.
Colby Covington was on The Full Send Podcast with the Nelk Boys where he gave his theory. The UFC welterweight was convinced the boxing match and knockout were all fakes.
“It was definitely a fix, you could tell, just the way he like signaled to him like, ‘Hey, okay, put your hand down, now you’re gonna take the knockout.’ And then you see Woodley’s mom, like she’s dancing around in the fucking octagon, like screaming right next to her son,” Covington, who beat Woodley in 2020, said (h/t Sportskeeda). “Like, dude, your son just got knocked out and humiliated in front of the world and you’re fucking screaming happy?”
It's no surprise that Colby Covington is trying to take away from Jake Paul's shocking knockout win over the former UFC champion. Tyron Woodley had his history with Covington as well but that was all settled back in 2020.
It's not clear exactly what is next for Jake Paul as he looks to return to the boxing ring in the summer. Colby Covington currently does not have a fight booked and it will be interesting to see what the UFC chooses to do with him.
