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.

“Covington simply cannot reach the level of a champion. He simply cannot reach that pinnacle. There will be people who will say that he had a temporary title. The interim title is no nonsense, but it’s not a real belt because there’s someone else who’s actually better with the regular title,” 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.
