Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington put on quite the show in the UFC 245 main event.

After five rounds of action, Usman was able to retain his title with a late TKO win over Covington. Despite the loss, the fight left many praising the performance of Covington, who looked phenomenal and fought half the contest with a broken jaw. However, the fight left at least one spectator feeling disgusted. That spectator being former UFC welterweight king Tyron Woodley.

Taking to TMZ Sports, Woodley explained why he felt disgusted by the matchup, adding that, had he been the one to punch Colby Covington, “Chaos” would be on life support right now. (H/T MMA Fighting)

“Kamaru won the fight, broke Colby’s jaw,” Woodley said. “Colby, I thought, was winning the fight by a little small margin. I wasn’t impressed. I was really disgusted. I wanted to throw up, the fact that I lost to Usman. If I would’ve punched Colby, he may be on life support right now.

“When I’m looking at how many punches those guys took, I was impressed by their durability, I was impressed by the fact that the kept doing it over and over again- it was kind of a teeter-tottering thing – but as far as I.Q., move your f*cking head maybe? I didn’t see a lot of that, I was surprised that I didn’t see a lot of wrestling. I thought I was going to see a lot a lot of wrestling.

“I didn’t see a lot of power. I guess you can’t make a motherf*cker have power. You can’t inject power into somebody’s body – well, [laughs] you can inject power into somebody’s body, it’s called USADA failure.”

Woodley also wasn’t impressed with Covington fighting most of the bout against Usman with a broken jaw. “T-Wood” says he himself has fought through similar injuries and has never received such praise for them.

“I just don’t like when people try to give unnecessary savage moments,” Woodley continued. “‘Oh he broke his jaw in the second round and kept fighting!’ Yeah, but you lost. How many times have I broken my foot against Kelvin Gastelum, or tore my shoulder against Demian Maia, or f*cked my hand up against Darren Till and still won.

“That’s the difference. I never got the savage moments, ‘Oh, Tyron’s so tough because he continued, and won!’ So f*ck both of them. I don’t want to give them no love, I don’t want to give them no clout.”

Jose Aldo’s Nutritionist Details Weight Cut For UFC 245

There were many concerns for former featherweight champion Jose Aldo and the weight cut for his bantamweight debut at UFC 245 last weekend.

However, Aldo made weight in the end and even looked good during his bantamweight fight with Marlon Moraes. Having claimed it was an easier weight cut than his previous ones at featherweight, the Brazilian went toe-to-toe with Moraes in a contest that lasted all three rounds.

Many had Aldo winning — but in the end, two judges saw it different as Moraes was handed the split decision. Still, given the all-round challenge, it was still a success that Aldo looked good. And part of the reason he was able to make the weight was because he hired a nutritionist — Dr. Priscila Antunes — and went on a diet for the first time.

“He hates nutritionists,” Dr. Antunes said in an interview with MMA Fighting. “But he trusted me. Aldo is very focused, you know? He had nowhere to run, he needed a nutritionist this time. He couldn’t do it by himself. And his diet was pretty easy.”

Aldo notably went on a ketogenic diet in the final week of his preparation which helped him shed the weight much easier:

“I think that’s one of the reasons why Aldo had so much cardio in his fight,” Dr. Antunes explained. “Many athletes tend to follow a protein diet before the weigh-ins. I’ve had that experience before but I think it broke my athletes. When I did the ketogenic diet with him, it worked.”

Dr. Antunes doesn’t have much knowledge of mixed martial arts but she did watch Aldo’s fight and thought he fared pretty well:

“I woke up with several text messages saying he looked incredible and the result was unfair, so I had to watch it,” she added. “I found the fight on YouTube and he really did great. Who am I to say if it was fair or unfair, but he really did great in the fight.”

Do you think Aldo should continue to fight at bantamweight?

Everyone is piling on Colby Covington after having his jaw broken and suffering a late TKO loss in his welterweight title bid against Kamaru Usman at UFC 245 over the weekend.

Covington likes to talk a lot of trash leading up to fights, but beyond that, people seem more offended and against him due to his staunch support of current United States President Donald Trump. After his loss over the weekend, many, even outside the MMA community, rejoiced at his downfall.

However, this doesn’t sit well with former UFC heavyweight-turned-comedian Brendan Schaub. Taking to his podcast, “Below The Belt,” Schaub explained that people fail to realize Covington is simply playing a character. (H/T MMA News)

“I think a lot of times too because of Colby’s antics, and he did it to attract fans and he did it for this exact reason he wants you to hate him so you tune in to see him lose. But that being said, you realize he’s just playing a character. That’s like getting mad at Robert De Niro for playing The Irishman when you see him on the street. Like, ‘what the f*ck dude?!’ He’s like, ‘what? That’s a character.’”

Schaub proceeded to blast those who were using the #MAGAJaw on social media this week, telling them to grow up and realize Covington is simply playing a character.

“For Colby it’s a character, he just happens to be the most hated character and rides with Trump. Obviously there’s the issue with Trump being the president and the moves he makes. But if you ask Colby like, ‘hey man what do you think of the stuff going on with Trump right now with impeachment?’ Or you ask him on his immigration laws, he doesn’t know.

“It’s just a bit, man. It’s just a bit. So when you can take that out, which for a lot of people is hard to do, and look at Colby as an athlete as a fighter he’s f*cking good man. He is damn good. He’s very, very, very good and he showed it. To me the narrative isn’t that Colby lost, the Trump kid lost, the big-mouth kid got his jaw broke.

“And I hate the f*cking #MAGAJaw. Grow up. But the thing to me, the narrative of this is how good is Kamaru Usman? He is so god damn good.”

What do you think about Schaub standing up for Covington against recent criticisms?
