Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping thinks Colby Covington is one of the best promoters in the game.
‘Chaos’ turned ‘heel’, as Bisping puts it, back in 2017 when the self-proclaimed ‘King of Miami’ called Brazil a ‘dump’ and its people ‘filthy animals’ following his lopsided decision victory over Demian Maia in the UFC Fight Night 119 co-main event.
Since then Covington has targeted everyone from ‘nerds and virgins’ to just about everyone on the UFC roster including ex-teammates Dustin Poirier and Jorge Masvidal.
Covington beat the latter a couple of weeks ago at UFC 272, and Bisping thinks the former interim welterweight champion did a great job of hyping the fight and turning it into a real grudge match that just about every casual fan wanted to tune in and watch.
