Colby Covington on WWE Superstars

In a recent interview with an Australian media daily, Colby Covington called Universal champion Seth Rollins as a ‘little cry baby’. According to Colby, Rollins is not at all tough and he is getting all the attention just because he is dating Becky Lynch. Colby also expressed his urge to fight Seth Rollins and defeat him. His idea of teaming up with Ronda Rousey against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch has created a lot of buzz among the MMA community already.

In the meantime, he referred to the upcoming PPV UFC 244 as a total hype show. Welterweight contenders Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal will be fighting against each other for the BMF belt at the main event of UFC 244 and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is going to put that belt around the winner’s waist. Colby Covington called it a stupid move and said that none of the contenders are going to taste what he has tasted. He referred to The Rock as 'just a hype' and said that getting a call from the President of the USA is a real deal.

"They're not getting calls from the President of the United States, they're not getting texts daily from the first family, they don't have an open invitation to the White House. Oh cool, you got some pro wrestlers? I know lots of pro wrestlers. Actually, I might have to have Kurt Angle show up and beat the Rock's ass.  said, Colby Covington.
