Den tidigare titelutmanaren i weltervikt Colby Covington gjorde i helgen på UFC Tampa sin efterlängtade retur till oktagonen. 36-åringen drabbade samman med den topprankade welterviktaren Joaquin Buckley i galans huvudmatch. Efter tre tuffa ronder så valde matchläkaren att avbryta matchen på grund av en brutal sårskada i Covingtons ansikte. Covington har både hånats och hyllats på sociala medier efter förlusten på UFC Tampa. Se reaktionerna från MMA-världen nedan!

Colby Covington doing this big entrance that played to crickets and then going out sad against a mid-level guy in the main event of a random TV card is the perfect end to his silly career.
