“What Kind of Weird Logic” – ‘Pathetic’ Dana White Comments on Colby Covington Has UFC Fans Angry

There are times when some of the announcements of the UFC president, Dana White, have shaken the entire UFC community. At the post-fight press conference of UFC 286, White made a similar shocking announcement that Colby Covington would be the next opponent of Welterweight champion Leon Edwards. The other Welterweight fighters, including the champion, felt the decision of the UFC boss was quite absurd. ‘Chaos’ has lost two of the four bouts he has fought. Moreover, both the fights he lost were against the former welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman.

Covington’s last two losses were the title bouts, and now White wants to give him another chance to win the belt. UFC welterweight Belal Muhammad was the most affected person with the president’s decision, as he was at the peak of his career with an impressive winning streak. This makes him the most suitable contender for a title bout. However, White decided to stick with ‘Chaos’. Furthermore, he asserted that his decision was not going to change even after the clash between Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal. After coming across White’s recent post-fight press conference at UFC on ESPN 43, fans are once again furious at the boss.

Fans react to Dana White’s decision favoring Colby Covington

At the post-fight press conference of the UFC on ESPN 43, White said, “That was a no brainer,” The UFC president said “If Usman doesn’t exist Colby’s been the champ now for a while. He’s been there forever. He cut the weight. He showed up to fill in for that fight and a million other reasons why he deserves that fight. Why not Colby deserves a fight, Can somebody explain that to me?”

Fans felt that White was not making sense. Additionally, they doubted that some kind of conspiracy is going on between White and Covington, which compels the boss to give the title shot to Covington for the third time.

Here is how the fans reacted to White’s comment.

One of the fans felt white is “pathetic”

“This man is so f***ing pathetic, he wants colby to be chamo sooo bad oh please just let him be champ. F***ing clown.”

A fan felt that there is “some reason” that compels the UFC to give a title shot to “Chaos.”

 “UFC must want Colby to be champ badly for some reason, 3 title shots in like 5 fights..“

 Another fan said that Covington will never be able to win over someone like Kamaru Usman.

“If Leon didn’t exist then Usman is still champ because Colby couldn’t beat him“

 One of the netizens commented,

 “What kind of weird logic is this LOL“

 Another fan expressed why Covington is not the right choice for a title bout.

 “Colby with his 0 wins over the current top 10 welterweights Imao“

 One of the fans came up with some interesting matchups.

 “I’d rather see Khamzat vs Leon. Khamzat beat Burns. That better than anything Colby has done lately (masvidal sucks).“

 Another fan hoped that Covington would lose to Edward.

 “All of this clown show is making me hope that Leon Edwards uppercuts Colby’s head clean off his shoulders“

The UFC boss does not move an inch

Dana White is the king of the UFC empire, and the final decision regarding anything related to the promotion will be his. In the meeting, White reinforced how Colby Covington prepared himself for the UFC 286 main event. The 53-year-old states that it is Covington’s dedication to fighting that makes him the right choice. Nonetheless, the fans need to find out if the bout between ‘Rocky’ and ‘Chaos’ will come to fruition or not.
