“The greatest fighter of today has a name. He is not known as the 'best fighter', but as 'Chaos' Colby covington. He will be here before you,” Sonnen said.
On the other hand, Buckley wasted no time and continued his provocative line. The American wasted no time in saying that he will retire Covington. He referred to the gaming platform where his rival once had some presence, as if suggesting a less glorious fate for the fighter.
“I’m happy to be here in Tampa. I appreciate the welcome. But at the end of the day, there’s no point in talking. I’m going to step into the Octagon, retire this guy, and send him back to the Twitch”, said Buckley.
