10 Best Trash-Talkers In UFC History
6. Colby Covington
If ever there was a UFC fighter who pulled from professional wrestling, it's Colby Covington.
To be fair, there are several UFC names who have taken their trash-talking inspiration from the world of WWE and the greater wrestling landscape, but Covington is loud and proud in the fact that he loves the pro wrestling business.
The so-called Super Villain of UFC has actually competed in pro wrestling events in recent years, and Covington so often pulls on those experiences and his time as a wrestling fan when it comes to berating an opponent.
Few in the game today have mastered the art of trash-talking as well as Colby Covington - to the point where he intentionally verges on the level of parody.
Is Covington cheesy? Is Covington cringe-inducing? Is Covington a pro rasslin' rip-off? Most definitely. Yet that's what makes him one of the greatest sh*t-talkers that the world of UFC and MMA has ever seen.
