Colby Covington has weighed in on rapper Drake betting on Jorge Masvidal to win at UFC 272 this past weekend.

Everyone now knows that Covington (17-3 MMA) beat Masvidal (35-16 MMA) Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. Covington succeeded via unanimous decision — 50-44, 50-45 and 49-46 and is now 2-2 in his last four fights.

Masvidal has a not so impressive record of losing three in a row, twice to Kamaru Usman (20-1 MMA) and now to Colby Covington.

‘Chaos’ took the time to rub his own win, and Drake’s $$$ loss, in Drake’s face at the post-fight press conference. It was Drake who placed a $250,000 bet (in Bitcoin) on ‘Gamebred’ to win at UFC 272.

“Let’s talk about all the money Drake lost tonight,” Covington said with a smile. “He needs to go back to selling those sh**ty albums to get back the money. He should have went to America’s Pick of the Week by my bookie. I tried to give the people the pick of the week. I am America’s champ and I was America’s pick of the week. Drake, you suck at sports betting. Go back to your sh**ty little albums and rapping.”

So there you have it ‘America’s Champ’ while praising himself, took the time to diss Drake over his betting skills and his ‘sh**ty” albums and rapping.

Drake, who has a reported net worth of $180 million, making him one of the richest rappers in the world, is probably not hurting too much over the $250K loss.

Colby Covington, continues to make friends by talking smack.

As for what is next for ‘Chaos’? Whoever he fights, it is sure to be a major attraction for fans and foes alike. Colby did call out Dustin Poirier (28-7 MMA) after the UFC 272 post fight press conference but time will tell if they will meet in the cage next.
