Sean O’Malley spoke out about Colby Covington on his ‘Timbo SugarShow’ YouTube podcast after his performance at UFC 272 this past weekend.<\/p>\n

In speaking<\/a> about the main event between Colby Covington (17-3 MMA) vs Jorge Masvidal (35-16 MMA), Sean O’Malley had this to say about the outcome:<\/p>\n

“So impressive what Colby done. He just had to stick with it because no one f**king liked him, still not a ton of people like him but he’s more of a star now.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

He was just a douchebag, and not a star but now he’s a douchebag\/star. I enjoy watching him. I f**king think he’s a character.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jorge Masvidal suffers defeat to Colby Covington at UFC 272<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sean O\u2019Malley continued and suggested Colby Covington should be on the P4P list.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe’s got to be pound for pound one of the best. Even though he’s lost to Kamaru. He’s still gotta be up there. Put on a f**king dominant performance. Was actually a really f**king sweet fight.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course it was Colby Covington who defeated Jorge Masvidal last Saturday night. As for what is next for ‘Chaos’, that has yet to be determined. At the post-fight press conference that question was posed to UFC President, Dana White, who responded:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know, that\u2019s a good question. We knew tonight, whoever lost, \u2018What would be next?\u2019 and \u2018Where would they go?\u2019 And I don\u2019t know, sitting right here, right now, I don\u2019t know. On either one of them, even Colby, who won. The thing is too is that after a while no matter how much you hate him (Colby), you’ve at least got to respect him. The guy keeps winning fights and he’s a tough dude.”<\/em><\/p>\n
