Fight fans and fighters had a lot to say about the impressive win that Colby Covington put on against former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler when he dominated him.

He picked up the unanimous decision win after constant pressure, takedowns, and strikes that left Lawler confused as to what to do. He never figured out how to stop the onslaught.

There's no doubt whatsoever: Colby Covington vs. Kamaru Usman has to happen next #UFCNewark

I've wanted to see Covington vs. Usman for years. That fight was thrown around a lot as they were each making their way up the division and I thought it made sense on multiple occasions. As it turns out, great thing it didn't happen. It's now a tremendous championship fight.

50-45 Covington. Activity levels off the charts, just kept Lawler off-balance all night. Incredibly impressive performance. #UFCNewark

Let's do it.

Fight goes the distance. Covington actually busted Lawler open with a spinning back fist in the last 10 seconds. He celebrates afterwards by leaning over the cage and interacting with the Trump brothers.

Colby Covington finishes up a dominant, five-round shutout of Robbie Lawler with a spinning kick/spinning backfist combo that lands flush, as members of the first family look on from front row. What a world.

Over the course of 25 minutes, no one in MMA has audited Lawler over time like that.

Colby Covington. Wow. Pace, cardio and over 600+ strikes landed. That was the best performance of his career to date in my opinion. You can hate on the man, you can't hate on that performance. #UFCNewark

Look, Colby Covington is not a likable individual. He doesn't even do this fairly easy gimmick very well. But he is a very good fighter and he definitely deserves a title shot. He deserved one before now. So let's not overthink this. Usman vs. Covington next please.

Lawler very classy in defeat. Didn’t respond to any of Covington’s barbs. Gave him props.

Robbie just let the whole world down ?
