Colby Covington may be on a rough run in the UFC, but his attention for spectacle hasn’t gone anywhere.
The former interim welterweight champion recently took on social media personality Chrogman at the UFC Performance Institute – after the 19-year-old streamer issued a challenge.
Chrogman, who gained notoriety by fighting his followers in spontaneous street matches, came to test himself against Covington.
The veteran not only accepted but raised the stakes – offering $30,000 if Chrogman could get the better of him inside the cage.
Unsurprisingly, the result wasn’t close.
Covington dominated, and when Chrogman failed to collect the money, he was given a second chance: last one minute on the mats without being submitted.
That ended the same way, with Covington forcing two quick taps.
Even so, Covington showed respect afterward, praising the young challenger’s spirit:
He’s a bright young mind and he’s f*cking got a ton of talent.
You’re 19 years old, I’m 37, I’ve been world champion, so I’m double your age.
I’ve got so much experience.The more experience he gets, just train smarter, not harder.
That’s the most important key to combat sports, and just have fun with it.Thanks for coming and being the man in the arena.
