Muhammad puts an end to Covington's championship ambitions

Number two in the UFC welterweight division rankings Belal Muhammad gloated over another title failure Colby Covington.

“Of course, I think Covington is done. He really has no more options. There are better fights for Thompson, especially now that Michael Page has entered the division. He can fight with a striker.

But Colby's game is over. People understand that he no longer wants to fight really strong top 10 fighters. Anyone in the top ten can beat him now. Perhaps Colby will move down to lightweight, perhaps he will get a fight with Poirier, but the days of his title ambitions are numbered,” MMA Mania quotes Muhammad as saying.

Let us remind you that on December 16 at the UFC 296 tournament, Covington lost by unanimous decision to Leon Edwards.
