Former interim UFC heavyweight champion Colby Covington admitted that he loves the fact that fans are always waiting for an opportunity to gloat over his misfortune. According to the American, he has been accustomed to this since college.

“Ever since college, people always wanted me to fail. The thing is that I had a very serious attitude. I was tough. I struggled very hard. Before a fight, I always told my opponent that it would be a dog fight.

I always knew that even if I lost on points, I would still leave with my head held high. So even then everyone wanted me to lose. I have always been in the role of a villain. It's OK. I'm used to it. I even like it,” Covington was quoted as saying by MMA Mania.
