Colby Covington is facing a dramatic shift in fan opinion. This comes following his UFC title fight losses after talking big and being unable to deliver. His most recent loss came against Leon Edwards. Covington’s brash personality may have gotten stale with fans.

The shift in emotion was underlined in a post on X. The post pointed out that Covington no longer had the same passion or enthusiasm in his posts. Covington is notorious for featuring attractive models in his betting promos.
