Colby Covington sick of UFC treating him like crap

They wanted to pay him less for a title fight than what he made against Lawler. Say what you want about Colby but that's a typical scumbag move by the UFC.

I don't think the Hollywood elite that run the UFC want a white MAGA champion as one of the faces of their company... he's never gonna have an easy road with anything with that gimmick.

not to mention he ran up on dana in a casino and caught one of dana's lady friends on film.

yeah fighters shouldnt negotiate. they should just take whatever the ufc offers them so they can bang bro

colby is in no position to demand equal pay. yes, fighters should get what they deserve but being difficult for the sake of being difficult is a duck move.

 

 

You sound ridiculous. None of these guys are scared of each other lol. He's actively been working towards fighting the champion, and your theory is he's afraid now that he's reached that point? Just dumb.

colby ducked woodley,

 

now hes ducking usman.

 

those are the facts.  

 

 

and yes fighters are allowed to be afraid. theyre human.

Absurd

Dana is a MAGA guy too.

Dana just going to leave both guys sitting out till they come to the table ready to fight.

Personally just my opinion but I don't see either guy as a big draw as a main event it would probably need a good under card or co main.

 

There's a lotta hype behind Colby, even if it is negative hype.  There's no doubt he is polarizing.  Like it or not, he's good for the game because he evokes emotion from fans. Usman needs to up his game because colby is the selling this fight and Usman aint doing shit. 

dana needs to pay the fighters better and promote them better instead of denying fans the fights they want to see.  The fans are paying for the product.  

Show these fighters the $$$.  

One FC is looking better and better

Dana has real bosses now and they aren't. Hollywood and ESPN do not want to blast Colby Covington all over the place as the world champion... guaranteed.

Trump should offer to double his pay. He's his sturdy friend in an ocean of kneelers and White House black ballers. 

I agree with Colby. Dana treats fighters fucked up. If he offered him a shitty offer with the threat of going with someone else, with no room for negotiating, despite Colby being one of the hottest names at 170lb through his body of work, that's fucked up! Same thing he's doing to Tony Ferguson no doubt behind the scenes..that's what this whole Conor next angle is in that situation. Trying to threaten to take what they deserve for even attempting to ask for what they're worth. Some guys like Conor get to make demands and negotiate. Others get treated like bitches by the promotion, and undervalued with the threat of missing out on opportunities for even trying to negotiate. It's sad and exposes the scum at the top for what they are. Dana White is a pos.. he'll tear down a fighter who deserves it just because they ask for what they're worth. 

Doing this to Tony Ferguson is criminal! No doubt this is exactly what they have going behind the scenes with him too.. 

I get both sides but how it is right now, UFC has the power.

Just like NFL owners do.

If Colby wants to complain and not get paid, that’s exactly what is going to happen.

Colby will be stale, others will get an opportunity accepting pay he wouldn’t.

I’m not saying I agree with it, but that’s how it is.

Keep fighting, become the undisputed champion, and watch how much things change in your favor once this is done.

Dana keeps saying tony is next unless he declines the fight. I bet the ufc are offering tony a take it or leave it peanuts offer too hoping he says no and they can book Conor and say tony doesn't want to fight.

Now that Masvidal is officially fighting Diaz. The ONLY options for Usman to fight are Colby and Edwards. 

Obviously 99% of the fans would rather see the Colby fight than the Edwards fight.

In that regard I feel like Colby does have a small amount of leverage here because the UFC really only has 2 options, and he is the obvious better option of the two.

nope, usman could rematch woodley.

Woodley is probably last in the list. At least with Colby they can get SOME eyeballs on the screen. Not to mention Woodley was thoroughly beaten the first time around.

Colby and Dana were in the White House last year with the ufc belt.

 

How can you guarantee anyway?

Doesn't the big money come after you become the (real) champ? Take the fight, win then negotiate thereafter. Him, that guy with the ears, other? keep clinging to this fantasy belt and keep trying to negotiate against that. Ridiculous.  That other guy scoffed at the idea of flying to Dubai on standby because in his addled mind he believes he is the real champ.

 

Grab the pot of gold anyway you can then you can command whatever you want.

IF Colby is telling the truth, then good on him. UFC could pay him more if they wanted to. They don't HAVE to, but they could. 

If he fights and loses, or looks bad in a win, Dana has no issue trashing him and throwing him into the undercard. So take what he can get when he can get it. 

Unfortunately for him, the UFC now doesn't need any one star to make money so they can ignore him forever if they want.
