Colby Covington put on arguably the most impressive performance of his career on Saturday night, dominating former champion Robbie Lawler on route to a unanimous decision win.<\/p>\n
‘Chaos’ utilized a tremendous pace, which included a high volume of strikes and some timely takedowns, to overwhelm the ‘Ruthless’ one.<\/p>\n
The one black eye on Covington’s performance<\/a> came in his post-fight interview with Jon Anik where he took a shot at UFC legend Matt Hughes.<\/p>\n “Let\u2019s talk about the lesson we learned here tonight.” Colby Covington said. “It\u2019s a lesson Robbie Lawler should have learned from Matt Hughes. You stay off the track when the train is coming through. Doesn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s the Trump train or the Colby train, stay out the way.”<\/p>\n Those comments were deemed highly controversial by many fighters and members of the MMA Community and for good reason. For those who don\u2019t remember, Hughes was seriously injured during a train accident in June of 2017. That collision left the UFC Hall of Famer<\/a> with head trauma and lifelong injuries.<\/p>\n Check out what some pros fighters and the MMA Community had to say about the comments made by Colby Covington about Matt Hughes below.<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/TWooodley\/status\/1157887700650856448?s=20<\/p>\n What a fukin idiot he\u2019s gonna wish he didn\u2019t just say that<\/p>\n — Stevie Ray (@StevenRayMMA) August 3, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
