Colby Covington gained’t be deterred by his current UFC outcomes.

Covington (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) dropped his second consecutive struggle, a doctor stoppage TKO loss to Joaquin Buckley final month at UFC on ESPN 63. The previous interim welterweight champion is 0-3 in undisputed title fights and seems to be out of the image in the intervening time.

Covington, nevertheless, doesn’t see it that approach. He takes inspiration from Daniel Cormier changing into champion late in his profession and likes how he matches up with UFC welterweight champion Belal Muhammad (24-3 MMA, 15-3 UFC).

“We’re going to do the unthinkable. We’re going to shock the world,” Covington mentioned throughout a current stream on his Twitch channel (h/t Combat Casuals). “DC (Cormier) was a champion at 41. I’m solely 36 years younger. No purpose I can’t be champion.

“Belal Muhammad, ‘Keep in mind the Racist,’ I can simply beat him. He’s matchup. He’s not going to take me down. He’s not going to outwrestle me. F*ck that. I’ll smack that dude foolish. I do know nobody is aware of who he’s, however they’re going to know when he’s on my spotlight reel after I’m achieved with him.”

Throughout his rise to title competition, Muhammad had been angling for a struggle with Covington since 2017, however he by no means received his alternative to face him. After he captured the belt with a win over Leon Edwards at UFC 304 in July, Muhammad told MMA Junkie that Covington will “by no means contact gold.”
