[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 951315, member: 34990"] I could see that result coming a mile off tbh, Robbie couldn't get anything away because he was too worried about the takedown, which Covington works into his striking extremely well so his opponents are always on their guard. He had to hope for a hail Mary KO and he doesn't have that power anymore. Covington has to be one of the least violent fighters in the UFC - he's the definition of pillow fisted (500 attempted strikes, used Lawler like a heavy bag, didn't hurt him once) and his grappling is incredibly negative. I'm a huge fan of grappling, not one of the "just bleed" brigade, but Colby doesn't work for subs, doesn't work for ground and pound, just wants to grind them against the cage or on the mat. I could see him vs Usman being the most boring ***le fight in a while, two guys with no power and really negative grappling. I think Usman would win but the viewers would lose. Won't be anything like the grappling masterclass that was Makhachev vs Tsarukyan [/QUOTE]
