At last night’s UFC Tampa event, former UFC Interim Welterweight (170 lbs) Champion Colby Covington returned after a year.
He made his entrance along with 2-time WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, and they came out to Real American.
You can watch it below:
Colby lost to Joaquin Buckley in the main event in Round 3 via TKO (doctor stoppage).
Dana White said the following about Colby’s loss in the post-show press conference:
“No doubt that was a bad cut but that fight doesn’t get stopped in Vegas. That fight keeps going in Vegas. 100 Percent.
Listen, Colby’s an older guy that fights every once in a while. He’s always durable and he’s always tough, like I just said. Did you hear the body shots he was getting hit with tonight? And the head shots he took? That stuff would have stopped other guys. Colby’s tough, but I also feel like Colby wasn’t too pissed that fight got stopped by the cut. The cut was definitely bothering him.
He’s obviously still one of the top ranked guys. What we were saying about him all night, took big shots, stayed in there, the cut was obviously bothering him but I also believe if that fight’s in Vegas, that fight doesn’t get stopped with that cut. But I don’t think that Colby was very upset when it did (get stopped). It was bothering him.
It was definitely bothering him. Literally as soon as the corner would fix it, he’s waiting to walk back out and he rips it open again and makes it start bleeding again. That alone tells you that was bothering him big time.
Listen, you go in and beat Colby Covington, it’s a big deal. Love him or hate him, [Colby Covington is] a dog, f**king tough as nails. Took big shots to the body tonight. Took big shots to the head that would have knocked a lot of people out. Colby’s durable and tough but when you get cut, anything can happen.”
