I got mixed feelings about him, I don't like his style. I think it's annoying. He just kind of moves around and moves like a, what's that, drunken, you know, like drunken karate warrior style where they kind of move around.

Whenever you've created such a fake character, like you've become the character, it's like, well, I'm not actually hating on Colby Covington, the heartbeat, the guy outside of just the fighting. You're hating on the character, just like it's WWE. And funny thing is, I just, I think he crossed the line.
