If you’re a big Colby Covington fan, UFC on ESPN 5 really delivered. There were a mess of cool submissions, a couple fantastic KO’s and the whole card got done by 3pm in the afternoon (Pacific time). For the Robbie Lawler fans among us, things were a bit more bittersweet. On the plus side, Covington looked more like a true threat to Kamaru Usman or Tyron Woodley than he ever had before as a top contender. On the minus, Robbie Lawler’s performance was utterly flat. If he’d hoped that Covington would burn out on a fast start, those hopes were dashed on the way to a notably one-sided decision loss.
