John McCarthy advises Colby Covington against fighting Gilbert Burns.
Covington (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) lost his second consecutive fight when he suffered a third-round doctor stoppage TKO to Joaquin Buckley in the UFC on ESPN 63 headliner earlier this month at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. McCarthy shuts down the narrative that Covington was rallying before the doctor intervened to stop the fight due to the nasty gash on his eyelid.
“There was a couple things in that fight, watching it,” McCarthy said on his “Weighing-In” podcast. “First off, Colby took an ass whooping. He absolutely showed he’s a tough human being, he’s a tough man, he doesn’t f*cking whine during the fight. He’s going after it, he’s trying, but you know, he was cut in multiple spots.
