Colby Covington slams Sean Strickland’s ‘limited’ fighting style, teases middleweight move

Colby Covington sees himself not only competing at 185 pounds, but beating the elite of the division.

In an interview with Submission Radio, the longtime welterweight discussed his next move, which could include a jump up in weight and a clash with former middleweight champion Sean Strickland. Covington explained why he prefers a move to middleweight rather than a drop to lightweight, and named Strickland as a beatable opponent when asked who he’d like to face in that division.
