Belal Muhammad says Colby Covington can’t be anyone in the top 10
“Once people realize he’s not what people thought he was – they put him on this pedestal of, ‘Oh, man, he’s the cardio king,” Muhammad continued about Covington. “He’s this, he’s that.’ These new guys now, where we’re studying, we’re seeing stuff. He’s not throwing anything at you to make you worry. He can throw his pity patty freaking punches, and then he takes his stupid shot and pushes to the fence and tries to take you down. But there are better athletes now, there are better guys, smarter guys now that are seeing all this stuff.
“I think now that one person realizes, wait, this kid really does suck, he doesn’t belong in the top five in the UFC. I don’t think he’ll beat anybody in the top 10 in the UFC. Now he’s realized the game has passed him by, and he needs to figure out what’s next. Maybe he’ll have one big fight against somebody, maybe, but there’s not a lot left for him,” Muhammad concluded.
It’s clear Muhammad has no love lost with Covington as he was glad to see Buckley beat him with ease at UFC Tampa.
