Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington responded to comments made by Chael Sonnen, who previously spoke about Covington's fight against Joaquin Buckley.
Recall that Sonnen, who was in Covington's corner, stated that he would have thrown in the towel if the doctor had not stopped the fight due to a cut.
Chael cares about me – he’s a real one. If he was throwing it in, it’s because he knows I couldn’t see. He knows that where the cut was at, it was bleeding into my right eye and I couldn’t see. I was seeing three or four different people.
