The challenger for the interim UFC welterweight title Colby Covington shared his expectations from a fight with Rafael Dos Anjos on June 9th at the UFC 225 in Chicago. "I spent many rounds over training cardio in the bed. I will try to do everything possible to finish "Ralfi Dos Nachos" in the first round, but I have been training hard and ready for five rounds,” said Covington.

“One of my main training partners was Dustin Porieu - there is no one stronger in terms of boxing and hitting technique than he is. This guy will be the next lightweight champion. And, of course, my best friend Jorge Masvidal helped me. He is always there and helps me to improve along the way. Of course, I pay tribute to my coach Mike Brown - he creates me a plan for a fight, and we go out and perform it," said the American on the air of BJ Penn Radio.
