Daniel Cormier, a former two-division UFC champion, explained why the contender for the promotion's welterweight title Colby Covington is an exceptional fighter.

“He’s not the biggest, the fastest or the strongest. However, he wins. His ability has made him a two-time NCAA champion, he's been an interim UFC champion, he's fought for the title twice, and he'll do it again. But when talking about Colby Covington, nothing catches your eye. He has cardio, but it comes with hard work. He's not going to jump the highest or run the fastest. However, he has achieved a lot. This is madness! “We haven’t seen too many people achieve what Colby Covington has,” Cormier said.

Let us remind you that on December 16, Covington will fight with UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards.
