Pre-UFC 288, I’d been making Colby Covington cartoons for a long time. He was one of my most reliable punchlines. While I haven’t “missed” him, the guy can fight and regardless of whether it’s for a title I’d prefer to see him mixing it up with the current top 5 fighters at welterweight.
UFC 288 results made everything clear, right?
The reality of it all is that Sterling is going to fight O’Malley and he should. It’s baffling to me that White is so determined to get Sterling and Dvalishvili to fight and all the reasons I can come up with range from vindictiveness to obstinance. Curiously, greed is not one of them which makes this a topic worth further scrutiny. Perhaps our MMArsupial journalist will dig a bit deeper. Take care of yourself and I’ll talk to you Wednesday.
