Legendary referee doesn't believe in Covington

Legendary referee John McCarthy shared his opinion about the former contender for the UFC welterweight championship belt Colby Covington.

ā€œCovington simplyĀ cannot reach the level of a champion. HeĀ simply cannot reach that pinnacle. There will be people who will say thatĀ he had a temporary title. The interim title is no nonsense, but itā€™s not a real belt because thereā€™s someone else whoā€™s actually better with the regular title,ā€ the referee said.

Let's remember that at UFC 296, Covington missed another chance to become a champion, losing to Leon Edwards by unanimous decision.
