Any way you slice it, the UFC 170-pounder has generated far more buzz since he started going the controversial route.<\/p>\n<p>This fact isn&#8217;t lost on Michael Bisping, who heaped praise on Colby Covington during his appearance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2022\/3\/13\/22969620\/michael-bisping-praises-colby-covingtons-fight-promotion-skills-100-percent-he-does-a-fantastic-job\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting.com<\/a>&#8216;s <em>The MMA Hour<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI think he does a great job. I think he really sells it. I think he gets people very, very much interested. He is a heel. I did an interview with him last week for BT Sport and it was a very compelling interview, very honest and open of him.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe reality is, Colby\u2019s an incredible fighter, he really is. He\u2019s just unlucky in some ways that Kamaru Usman is the champion and he\u2019s around at the moment. If it wasn\u2019t for that, he\u2019d probably be the champ. I think he brings a lot of excitement. That fight against Usman at Madison Square Garden, I loved every second of that press conference and that was because of Colby, because of what he brought to the table. It\u2019s the same thing with Jorge, same thing every single time, and if I was a fan, I\u2019d have bought that pay-per-view after watching that. So he\u2019s doing what he\u2019s setting out to do. He\u2019s promoting the fight, he\u2019s hyping the fight, he\u2019s trying to put a little doubt in his opponent\u2019s mind, not sure if he\u2019s successful in that because I think a lot of people now know he\u2019s just playing this character, but promoting his fight, 100 percent he does a fantastic job.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The question remains, what&#8217;s next for Covington? He has already lost to UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman twice but seems to get the better of everyone below that number one spot. He&#8217;s called for a grudge match with Dustin Poirier and while <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/dustin-poirier-reacts-to-colby-covington-after-cute-callout-post-fight-at-ufc-272\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the bad blood is there<\/a>, Poirier is a lightweight.<\/p>\n<p>No matter who is next for &#8220;Chaos&#8221; you can count on the trash talk to be in full force.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Bisping thinks Colby Covington is doing exactly what he needs to do in order to draw attention.
