Pros react to Colby Covington’s win over Robbie Lawler

Colby Covington has beaten Robbie Lawler, and not a lot of his colleagues at the UFC are happy about it.

Covington outpaced, out struck and out worked Lawler over the course of five rounds in Newark tonight, earning himself a deserved unanimous decision to cement his place as number one contender for Kamaru Usman’s welterweight world title.

Check out some of the disappointed responses below:

Robbie just let the whole world down 😩

Love him or hate him @ColbyCovMMA is a real problem. 500 strikes and 20 takedown attempts over 5 rounds is just insanity!!!

The cardio freak @ColbyCovMMA did too much cocaine in Miami and had surgery for a deviated septum 😂😂

I want to apologize for losing bc now all of you have to listen to Marty and Colby talk to each other. It will be damn near unbearable.
