Will Colby Covington Transition to Pro Wrestling?

Amanda Newton is in Derendomy is a... That's a fight that people are not talking about enough. Derendomy is good, dude. She's good. Super technical. Remember when she refused to fight Cyborg? I was like, I'll just give up the belt. Fuck this noise. No, you can kiss this ass. Kiss this Dutch ass. Not interested. Dude, Volkonoski versus Max Hollow is a good fucking fight. You ever see Volkonoski when he's 240 pounds? Yeah, that's fantastic. Crazy. Rugby player? There's five, six, 240. He's from Izzy, same camp. Yes, he's an animal. They got some boys over there. Max Holloway. Max Holloway, consensus, greatest featherweight of all time. Yeah, that's fair. Of all time. He's the best. Beat the shit out of Aldo twice. Twice. Beat the shit out of Ortega. When Ortega was the fucking man. No, keep going. One more, Jon Jones. Kamaru Usman and Kobe Covington. No, Jon Jones is the... What is it? What's going on? What is he? James J. Henry? Is that the other Vegas one? Houston. Oh, that's right. That's February. That's February. Houston. Oh, Kamaru Usman and Kobe Covington. Give me that again. Let me see that again. Let's go back to that. It's a great car. Usman and Kobe Covington. Good luck calling that. What do you think happens there? I don't know. Both their styles are very similar. The only difference that you can really see, neither guy's ever been taken down in a fight, ever. But I would give the finishing power to Kamaru Usman. I would as well. He has some power. He does have some power. But here's some power, but he can't. How about Kobe with Robbie Lawler. Oh, yeah. Just out-shruck him. Yeah. Yeah. Insane. Well, not only that, puts a pace on that you just can't handle. You can't handle it. But if anybody can handle it, it's that guy. Because think about what Usman did at Woodley. Yeah. Take down defense. 100% Kamaru Usman. 100%. How the fuck is Kobe Covington? Who took him down? No one took him down. Maybe his first fight. Didn't he get submitted? He had a broken rib. Took a fight early in his career, injured, I think, to get into the UFC. Really? And lost? He got submitted. I want to say it was his first fight. Go to Kobe Covington's first fight in the Octagon. Oh, that's what they're going to do. Woodley Leon Edwards. Ooh. Just hit me. That's a tough fight. Tough fight for both guys. Good fight. Very good fight. It was submit by Guillotine. In first fight in the UFC? No. I made him eight and one. Who are you talking about? In the UFC? Eight and one in the UFC. How many fights in was it? One, two, three, four. It was fifth fight. Really? Who did it? Worley Alves. Yeah, Worley Alves. That's right. That was the fight that he got injured. Worley Alves was a beast. He's kind of fallen off, but he was a beast. But I'm assuming Kobe shot in? Well, Kobe went into that fight with a fucked up rib. I know that for a fact. But did he shoot and get guillotined? That makes sense. I don't remember. How the fuck did he take down? Or maybe he fell down? He was hurt. I know for sure. And then who did he fight after that? Because let me tell you the fight that made him put on this act. Pull up his record. Put it up on there. It was quick into the fight. It was his first round. Oh, it was? Yeah. Well, he was fucked up. I know for sure he was fucked up going into that fight. That was a fight he didn't want to take. Because him and Chael are close. And Chael was like, you need to come up with a shtick, dude. Do you think so? 100%. OK, let me see. Make that a little bigger for my shitty eyes. I'll scroll up. OK, there it is. There it is. I think it was when he was fighting Damian Maya that he started talking shit. Where is that? Sao Paulo. Yep, that's exactly what it was. Yeah, that's exactly where. So he was fighting Damian Maya. He called them filthy animals? Yeah, he called them filthy animals. So apparently what was going on before then was he was not making enough noise. No one gave a fuck about them. And they're in the middle of contract negotiations. And I think they were threatening to cut him. So he says all kinds of crazy shit about Damian Maya. And people pay attention. They go, OK, OK, how about this? We'll give you another Brazilian. So they give him Rafael dos Anjos. He beats the fuck out of Rafael dos Anjos. And then they're like, holy shit, wait a minute here. Wait a minute. So in doing that, he wins the interim title. And then there was a bunch of shenanigans. They wanted him to fight in Madison Square Garden. He said, look, I can't fight back to back that quick. These are hard ass camps. So they strip them. A lot of shit going on. A lot of shit. So then they bring him back against Robbie Lawler. Big comeback fight. Robbie Lawler is a murderer, right? Big fight on ESPN. Yeah, big fight on ESPN. And he just runs him over, man. Runs him over. Robbie never got air. He never got air. Kobe just stayed on him. Stayed on me. Look at his record, right? Last five, all decisions. So it's like, if you're like, all this guy, he doesn't finish. But what he's doing, the guys like Damian Maya and dos Anjos and Robbie Lawler, they're so fun to watch. He's breaking news. This is crazy. October of 2017. So it's basically two years old, this act. And I can't wait. Three fights old. I can't wait for him to drop it. I can't wait for him to drop it once he becomes a champ and tell him what he did. You know why? He didn't keep it going because he wants to go to WWE. Does he? Yeah, that's his thing. Because smart? Why not, man? He's like, I won't go to WWE. He becomes a champ and then goes to WWE. And they put him on all the steroids. Why not? And they get him up to about 240. Keep the hat. Keep the gimmick going, WWE. 100%. Make bank, shake it. Yeah, tell him. I'm going to show you pussies how to really fight. It's fantastic. How about him versus Lesnar? He's a heel. Dude, you'll see that. You'll see that. Lesnar fought a little dude the other day. Well, that fought, but you don't think. WTF crazy. That's what he wants to do. Hey, why not, man? You can make money. You know? At a certain point in time, you got to go, you know, he accomplished a lot. 100%. If he decides, if he beats Usman. Oh, he's like, how am I going to parlay this? How am I going to keep this going? Because everybody knows fighting, you know. It's a finite window. Like, what are you going to do next? Nobody knows what his body's like right now as far as injuries. And how many guys do you know that are in camp that have one fucked up knee or a weird shoulder or the neck keeps fucking when something for his skill set. That motor and that grind like he's a grinder. So you got to have it all, man. I would like to watch his strength and conditioning work out because it must be fucking insane. It must be insane because even Jorge Maz and the pace was just insane. He just never gave him any air. Just kept on him. Bang, bang, bang. And I go, what do you use? I go, you're going 50, 60%. He goes, yeah. About 50, 60%. Yeah, just volume. Just never throwing full blast. Just staying on you. Very Nate-Nick Diaz-ish. People forget about that. Those guys started that a long time ago. Nick started it. Nick started it. If you go back to watch his fight with Frank Shamrock, he just never gave Frank Shamrock any breaks. Just stays on him. It's not like exploding. He's just staying volume. Until he gets you hurt. Then he starts ripping to the body. Dig into the body. And he starts letting you know, I'm not even a little tired, bitch. And you're exhausted. He starts putting it on you. Woo.
