Coach Ray Longo can’t stand Colby Covington, and his antics leading up to UFC 296 only strengthened that sentiment.
Covington (17-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) took a lot of heat for making a distasteful comment about welterweight champion Leon Edwards’ murdered father during the UFC 296 pre-event news conference.
An emotional Edwards (22-3 MMA, 14-2 UFC) admitted it took a lot of restraint not to unload on Covington in the moment, and he managed to put on a composed performance to shut him down in this past Saturday’s main event at T-Mobile Arena. Longo wasn’t having any of Covington’s attempts to sell the fight and thinks he majorly crossed the line.
