He didn’t try and come after me. He just, you know, tried to point coast to to a decision so I could tell after that fight, he just wasn’t hungry anymore,” Covington instructed Submission Radio.

“He’s still not a draw. He’s still doesn’t draw flies to sh*t. So, you know, I want to do good business for the company. Whatever. The biggest and best fights that the company wants. That’s what I’m on board with. If he’s what’s on board, fine. It’s a good matchup. He’s not going to take me down and submit me. You know it’s going to be a striking fight. And as we saw on the fight with Belal, you know we found out that kid has a glass jaw,” Covington mentioned about Brady.
