On Saturday morning in Singapore, on the main card of UFC Fight Night 111, American Top Team’s Colby Covington scored a lopsided decision win over the UFC’s number-seven ranked welterweight, Dong Hyun Kim. With this win, the American is likely to burst into the divisional top-10, where more tough challenges are sure to await.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media shortly after his defeat of Kim, Covington explained that he plans to continue to take out ranked welterweights, referring to his rise as the “embarrassment tour.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m dominating these guys,\u201d Covington said (h\/t MMAJunkie.com<\/a>). \u201cI just dominated the No. 7 guy in the world. No one has dominated him like that. This is officially the embarrassment tour. I embarrassed him in Asia tonight and I\u2019m going to keep embarrassing the division. It doesn\u2019t matter how I beat them, the way I\u2019m beating them \u2013 this is easy money, bro.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c[This win over Kim] is definitely a statement win,\u201d Covington continued. \u201cLook what I just did. 30-25 (scorecards). I beat him every second of every round. It wasn\u2019t even competitive out there. I didn\u2019t even break out a sweat out there. I\u2019m just getting warmed up. You haven\u2019t seen the best of me yet.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Covington then discussed UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley, who he used to train with at American Top Team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know Tyron Woodley got tired just watching us at home,\u201d Covington said. \u201cLast time I trained with him, it wasn\u2019t even competitive. He gets tired just watching this. I\u2019ll break him in half.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With his impressive defeat of Kim, Covington extended his current streak to four. In his three next most recent fights, he defeated Bryan Barberena by decision, Max Griffin by TKO, and\u00a0Jonathan Meunier by submission. The rising contender is now 12-1 overall.<\/p>\n

How do you think Colby Covington will do in the welterweight top-10?<\/p>\n
