It's like two Chihuahuas going at it. Neither one doing enough damage to end it, yet always giving the illusion of ending it "soon."

It's like edging for five rounds with no money shot.

Man, Colby just looking slow and not aggressive at all. I'm guessing 2 years off has affected him, cause this is not at all what I was expecting from him.

"how about sean strickland, who is a psychopath, having the wherewithal telling the kids to move, before he attacks dricus du plessis"

- points for thinking, + points for popularity.

good on cody for winning, he's still a low fight IQ banger but fuck it, i love him.

tony will die in the cage. it's what he would have wanted. to be fair, paddy looked a LOT bigger. those cheeseburgers paid off.

midget weight, those spins and scramables from pantoja are like watching hamsters fight. cute little fluffies that could run up your leg like lightning and ruin your whole fucking day.

colby, and many other almost rans, really need to realise that this is your shot, you can't moms spaghetti it, its death or glory. especially after all the shittalk and all the time off. don't see him getting another shot, especially at his age.

Tferg is a needle mover. The entire crowd was behind him the entire week-- they don't care what streak he's on.

DC and Florian called for Tferg to get benched a long time ago. That hasn't happened yet, and there is a reason for that.

The UFC business still needs him or they're afraid of what he does if left idle like Arlovski.

seems like it would be better for ufc to book him easier fights.

Colby Covington claims biased judges cost him title at UFC 296: 'They hate me because I support Trump'

New Excuse Dropped:

UFC fighter Colby Covington pointed fingers at the judges' alleged political bias for his unanimous decision loss against Leon Edwards at UFC 296 as former President Donald Trump looked on while in attendance.

During the post-fight press conference on Sunday, Covington claimed that the judges have "never favored" him because of his allegiance to Trump.

"They hate me because I support Trump," he alleged.

Covington told "Jesse Watters Primetime" on Wednesday that he believes judges "stacked the deck against us" because of his political stance - which he claims robbed him of victory in the title fight.

"If it's in a judging position, in a fight or any type of athletic sporting event, they're going to stack the deck against us, so it's a sad time in our country, but we the people need to rise up, and we can't let this keep us down," he said.

Covington has since received criticism for attributing his loss to the alleged political bias of judges.

Watters told Covington that it looks like he had "won on paper" with more total strikes and the same amount to the head. Covington added that he also had five minutes more control time.

Covington further explained that he broke his foot in the first 30 seconds of the fight when the first kick he threw was blocked by Edwards’ elbow.

The UFC welterweight adamantly told Watters that he wants a rematch against Leon Edwards.

"I deserve it," said Covington. "You know, I think I broke my foot in the first 30 seconds of the fight, kicking it on his elbow, so I want a rematch with this guy. I'm going to come back stronger. I'm just like the American people. You know, we never give up, you can knock us down, but we just learn. We don't lose, we only learn. We come back stronger," he said.

The Yair/Ortega rematch should be awesome. Other than that, those are some shitty cards upcoming.
