Colby Covington, a former contender for the UFC welterweight title, spoke out about trash talk.
“Everyone takes it too much to heart, even though they just don’t understand. It's funny, though, because all these fighters who used to take trash talk to heart, after cashing their checks, started to realize everything. They told me, “Hey Colby, I'm actually grateful to you. This way I made a lot more money than if I had been quiet. But because you were so talkative, you brought more hostility to the fight and I made more money. So thank you, man."
