It might be too much to expect sympathy for Colby Covington after everything he has done and said in the last few years in an effort to drum up interest in his career. Covington has badmouthed nearly every fighter in his path, trashed an entire nation, used offensive language. Those transgressions are numerous and regular, and they are also by design, which is another strike against Covington from those in the know. Hatred is his business plan.
Because of that, Covington’s current plight has mostly gone dismissed by most, the top welterweight contender skipped by the UFC for no good reason.
