Full Episode
in boxing or boxing really yeah he's not that good damn i've had some training partners that went and trained with him and they're like he's not good at all like he's just he he juices up you know you can tell he's a lab project he's got all these steroids and chemical imbalance he got all these you know pimples on his face and his track which kids shouldn't have when when he's at his his his age i just don't think he's that big of a refiner
All right, guys out here in Vegas got Colby Covington. He's out here filming. Thanks for coming on, man. Thanks for having me. I really appreciate it. Yeah, full circle moment for you filming on that show again, right?
Yeah, full circle, man. I was that kid earlier in my career that just really wanted to get to the UFC, would do anything to get on that Ultimate Fighter show because that was the platform to get into the UFC at the time.
And now here I am being able to give back some of my knowledge and wisdom that I've accrued through my career and help these guys try and understand what it takes to be a UFC fighter. Must be such a surreal feeling, right?
Yeah, it really is. You know, seeing these kids, you know, I see myself, you know, 15 years ago when I was just starting my journey and all I wanted, I would do anything to be a UFC fighter, even if it meant like how the UFC fighter rules are, which is to get locked in the house for five weeks with 18 other competitors and you're all competing for that one contract.
So, you know, it's a tough situation, but how bad do you want to be a UFC fighter is what the UFC is asking these kids. Yeah.
damn so only one person gets a contract out of that show only one kid that's insane per weight class yeah holy crap it's uh it's a competitive uh competitive career you know if you want to make it you got to show that you're one of the best and you got to show how bad you're willing to go how much sacrifice you're willing to make and you know how good you are to be there do you still feel like you have that same drive as you did when you were on that show
I do. Yeah. I still have that same hunger in my, in my spirit, you know, that's the same soul, that burning fire in my soul to, to compete and show the world that I'm the best in the world. So I'm driven by hate. Like I get a lot of hate, you know, in the MMA space and, and especially cause I support president Trump.
A lot of people like to call me names and, you know, all these racists, he's fascist, he's, you know, misogynistic. And, So, you know, I like to prove haters wrong. So that's why I still have that burning fire in my soul. You might be one of the most hated fighters of all time. Yeah, I would say probably the number one figure.
