There is, however, no doubting his credibility in the Octagon. Following a dominant unanimous decision victory over Robbie Lawler, he’s finally getting a well-deserved title shot at UFC 245 - the final PPV of 2019.
Dan Lambert, the owner of Covington’s training camp in American Top Team spoke to BJPenn.com about the former Interim Champion and his controversial personality in front of the cameras:
As for Covington’s work ethic and skills, Lambert had nothing but praise for it:
Covington has caused quite a stir within his team, angering the likes of Joanna Jedrzejczyk, who openly stated her desire to see Kamaru Usman win. Lambert, however, believes that Covington is better equipped to deal with the champion Usman:
Usman has been described as a “cardio machine” but Lambert says that the cardio is another aspect where Covington will thrive. Either way, we’re in for an elite-level technical fight between two athletes who love to press and dictate the pace of the fight. While we may not necessarily get a finish, we will see the grudge fight come to blows.
Tune into UFC 245 to see Usman vs Covington and two other Championship fights in what many consider to be the most stacked card of the year!
