Former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington is doing all he can to play the heel ahead of his fight with Robbie Lawler.
Covington takes on Lawler in the UFC Newark headliner on August 3 and has already upped the ante by suggesting reasons why his opponent left American Top Team. With Newark being less than an hour’s drive from New York, “Chaos” also recently decided to take a dig at the Knicks, who play at Madison Square Garden:
“Over the last 20+ years The @nyknicks have tarnished the legacy of this iconic arena,” Covington wrote. “There’s only 1 man who could ever make it truly GREAT again!!!”
Most intriguingly, however, Covington has confirmed that Donald Trump Jr. will be in attendance for his fight with Lawler, at least according to reports:
UFC president Dana White recently confirmed that Covington would get the next shot at Kamaru Usman if he emerges victorious against Lawler:
“Covington is next in line, and he stepped up, he took this Lawler fight, and he’ll get the [title] fight,” White said.
However, a loss could completely change the title picture at 170-pounds, especially with the recent wins of Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards.
Who do you think takes the UFC Newark headliner?

UFC president Dana White has confirmed that Colby Covington will get the next shot at the welterweight title provided he wins his next fight.
As current champion Kamaru Usman continues making his recovery, a number of welterweights such as Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards have staked a claim for the next title shot. However, many believed Covington, who was stripped of his interim title, should have already received it.
Instead, Covington is now booked to face Robbie Lawler in the UFC Newark headliner that takes place August 3. There’s been speculation that even a win over the former champion may result in “Chaos” not receiving the next shot.
However, speaking at the UFC 240 post-fight press conference, White claimed Covington would be next after stepping up and taking the fight:
“Covington is next in line, and he stepped up, he took this Lawler fight, and he’ll get the [title] fight,” White said, adding that it would be the case only with a win.
Covington last competed at UFC 225 in June last year when he outpointed Rafael dos Anjos to win the interim welterweight title. He is currently on a six-fight winning streak.
As for Lawler, he will be looking to get back to winning ways and climbing the rankings as a result after his controversial loss to Ben Askren earlier this year.
Do you think Covington will beat Lawler and get the next shot? Or do you see Lawler disrupting things further for Covington?

Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington is really stepping up the trash-talk for his fight against Robbie Lawler.
The pair will headline UFC Newark from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey on August 3. Covington and Lawler are former teammates, as Lawler once trained at American Top Team (ATT) before departing shortly after losing the welterweight title.
Covington claims Lawler left the gym after a picture was hung up showing Tyron Woodley’s hands being raised after defeating Lawler for the gold. Now, “Chaos” has taken things a step further, questioning how Lawler acquired his great physical physique in his last fight against Ben Askren at UFC 235.
Lawler entered the contest looking, arguably, in the best shape he ever had in his career at 37-years-old. Speaking to Submission Radio, Covington was reluctant to point the finger at “science or other things,” but admits its odd Lawler looked better than ever physically at 37:
“I think in his last fight, when he fought Ben Asscream and he left him for dead and he knocked him out in his first round, he looked physically better than he’s looked in his whole entire career. So, I don’t want to point to science or other things, but you would think at that age he wouldn’t look as good as he looks.
“So, I’m prepared for the best Ruthless Robbie Lawler and I’m gonna prove August 3rd that I’m the best welterweight of all time when I beat Robbie and leave him in a pool of his own blood.”
Covington wouldn’t flat out come out and say he thinks Lawler is abusing performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), but is preparing for the best possible version of Lawler on August 3:
“I mean, I trained with the guy in his prime, in his early 30’s, and you’re gonna tell me in his late 30’s he looks better than he’s ever looked his whole entire career? And this is after he’s taken the most significant strikes in UFC history. This is after all the wars he’s put his body through.
“And then just all of a sudden he’s just on some super potion and he just looks better than ever? You know, let’s be honest guys, it doesn’t make sense. I don’t want to say what you guys know you want me to say. I’m not gonna say it, I’m gonna let the people speak for it. I’m gonna let the people be the judge of that.
“But I mean, let’s be honest guys, you don’t just in your late 30’s all of a sudden just have a fountain of youth and you’re just stronger and better than you’ve ever been in your whole entire career. You know, I’m prepared for the best Robbie Lawler and I’m gonna see the best Robbie Lawler August 3rd. I’m excited. I’m rising up to the challenge.”
