Colby Covington is no stranger to trash-talking about any fighters in the game. While maintaining an outspoken personality and occasionally making controversial statements, Colby Covington showcases his reputation as a skilled fighter from his time as a former UFC Welterweight Title Contender. He is known for his grappling skills and relentless pressure in striking. However, previously he spoke about the boxing match between Dillon Danis and Logan Paul.
Dillon Danis has a boxing match scheduled against YouTuber Logan Paul on October 14, 2023. Danis has a professional MMA record of 2-0. It will be his boxing debut, and since he suffered an injury in July 2019, he has been away from any competition. It will be his first time competing in over four years.
In an interview with James Lynch on his YouTube channel, Colby talked about his upcoming title fight with Leon Edwards. Chaos also talked about other fighters and gave his thoughts on some of the big fights coming up. He showed interest in fighting the current Lightweight Champion, Islam Makhachev.
Colby Covington claims Dillon to be using a scriptwriter by saying, “He’s (Danis) got a good beat writer for sure. He’s got a good guy that’s behind the screen ghost writing for him. he’s definitely been able to manufacture some drama with that fight, make it a bigger fight than it really is”.
Colby further added, “D*ldo Danis is not a fighter. That guy can’t throw a punch. He literally couldn’t punch his way out of a wet paper bag.” Colby predicted Danis would lose to Logan Paul and get his a** whooped. He also called the fight a circus and they are not real fighters.

Dillon Danis replied to Colby, calling him a “Little fanboy” and a “Bi*ch”. He also added, “If I come to the UFC, I’d tap you in the first round”.
Remember when you begged me for a picture, little fan boy? Bitch, if I come to the UFC, I’d tap you in the first round. https://t.co/BfV458d7A9 pic.twitter.com/9uuTcqUYsA

The boxing match between Danis and Paul is scheduled for October 14; however, most fans are skeptical about Danis showing up for the fight given his history of pulling out of fights at the last minute. So Logan had a backup plan up his sleeve: if Danis pulled out of the fight, former UFC Welterweight and current BKFC fighter Mike Perry would be the backup fighter.
Colby Covington will fight for the Undisputed Welterweight Championship
Colby Covington will be fighting the reigning and defending champion Leon Edwards for the Undisputed Welterweight Title at UFC 296 on December 16, 2023. This will be Colby’s third crack at the Undisputed Title. He got his first two title shots against Kamaru Usman, who was the champion at that time.
Both fights were very competitive, and many fans believe that their second fight should have been a draw, not a win for Usman. In the fight against Leon Edwards, fans are curious to see who is the best welterweight fighter in the world. It’s a fascinating clash of styles. Covington’s wrestling, grappling, and relentless pressure vs. Edwards’s precise striking and phenomenal countering ability.
