Former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington recently found himself in an unusual wrestling match. This wasn’t a typical training session or a high-profile UFC bout. Instead, it was a wrestling match that has since gone viral against Rapper Lil Pump, capturing the imagination of fans on social media.
An online video shows the rapper getting the upper hand in a wrestling match with Covington, who is known for his exceptional grappling skills. The clip has gone viral faster than Lil Pump’s latest single, featuring the rapper locking Covington in a guillotine choke. The sight of the rapper applying pressure on the former interim welterweight champion’s neck while his face turned red is not something anyone would have expected.
Covington is an NCAA All-American wrestler and BJJ black belt. This video of him getting dominated by a rapper with minimal training is probably just for fun. Fighters are often known to let other non-fighting people get the upper hand, like in the recent video of Alex Pereira being dominated by Mark Zuckerberg.
Once a dominant force in the octagon, Covington has had a rough patch lately in his career. After a series of high-profile losses, he has been more visible in influencer circles than in fight camps. His recent endeavor involved confronting a child predator alongside controversial kick streamer Vitaly and Rapper Lil Pump. This viral moment may inspire him to step up his game and return stronger than ever.
