Daniel Cormier says Colby Covington is the UFC’s biggest overachiever
Daniel Cormier believes Colby Covington has managed to do far more in combat sports than his natural ability warrants.
The former two-weight world champion is very impressed by what his countryman has managed to do.
In an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience from last year, Cormier said: “I believe Joe, for everyone we watch, in this beautiful sport that we have the honor of calling, no one has done more with less than Colby Covington.
“He’s not the biggest, he’s not the fastest, he’s not the strongest, but he wins.
“With those abilities, he’s become a 2x NCAA champion and become a UFC interim champion.
“Nothing about Colby jumps off the page; he’s as meat and potatoes as it gets. [He’s got] volume and cardio, but that comes with hard work.
“He’s not going to outjump or run faster than anyone, but with his abilities, he has done that.”
