Colby Covington će nastavio svoj pozitivni niz od četri uzastopne pobede, ovog vikenda se u Singaporu suočio sa Dong Hyun Kimom kojeg je izdominirao i pobedio jednoglasnom odlukom sudija. 

Colby je izjavio da želi da nastavi da dominira welter kategorijom UFC-a i da na kraju želi da “polomi” trenutnog šampiona welter kategorije UFC-a na pola. Izjava Colbya na konferenciji za štampu nakon borbe u Singaporu:




“It’s definitely a statement win. Look what I just did. 30-25 (scorecards). I beat him every second of every round. It wasn’t even competitive out there. I didn’t even break out a sweat out there. I’m just getting warmed up. You haven’t seen the best of me yet. Same thing would have happened with Rafael dos Anjos. He’s scared – he’s been ducking me for a long time. There’s a reason he didn’t fight me tonight, and this is the reason.

I know Tyron Woodley got tired just watching us at home. Last time I trained with him, it wasn’t even competitive. He gets tired just watching this. I’ll break him in half.”

Ko će da bude njegov sledeći protivnik nam predostaje da vidimo, jedna stvar je sigurna da mu još samo koja pobeda fali da dobije šansu za tu titulu.
