Colby Covington tech falls Dillon Danis in dominant fashion, calls out Chris Weidman at RAF 7

Screenshot Colby Covington probably made things a little harder on himself but ultimately showed off his wrestling superiority as he shut down Dillon Danis in the RAF 7 co-main event. As an All-American wrestler during his college days, Covington was heavily favored to win but he got a little sloppy early, which allowed Danis to end the first period with a 4-4 tie. But the second period saw Covington snatch a takedown and then he began turning Danis on the mat as the points just started racking up with each move.

A another snap down and a go behind put more points up for Covington. Eventually, Covington got to a score of 14-4 and the match was called as the former interim welterweight UFC champion got the job done with a tech fall victory. Danis looked disappointed in his performance but left the mats without an incident as he came up short in his RAF debut.

View this post on Instagram Following the match, Covington called for a showdown against another former UFC champion in his next appearance in RAF. “I want Chris Weidman,” Covington shouted. “Let’s find out who the real American is right here on the Real American Freestyle mats.

Get off your couch, pack a lunch because it’s going to be a long night Chris Weidman. We’re going to find out who’s the real All American. ” Danis actually grabbed a single leg to open the match but Covington quickly countered and reversed positions for a takedown.
