Colby Covington Dominates Danis in Shocking MMA Performance at UFC 185
Colby Covington has surprisingly positive comments about Dillon Danis, who he says has "the strength of 10 men."
To the surprise of many, Colby Covington has nothing negative to say about Dillon Danis ahead of their RAF07 co-headliner. Covington will get back on the wrestling mats when he takes on fellow polarizing combat sports figure Danis on the March 28 card at Yuengling Center in Tampa, Fla. (FOX Nation).
Both men have made careers out of agitating fans and competitors, but Covington is approaching the matchup with a change of his traditional tact. "He's a strong guy – he's got the strength of 10 men," Covington told MMA Junkie. "He fought those 10 Dagestanis last time in that Khabib brawl (at UFC 322), so that's someone that's not to be underestimated and to be respected.
So I respect Dillon. It's going to be a great match. He has a lot of combat sports knowledge, a former champion.
It's going to be a great match and I'm excited to get out that on those RAF mats again. "I think this match is going to be a battle. He's been working really hard.
