Colby Covington surprisingly took well to Chael Sonnen wanting to stop his fight at UFC on ESPN 63. Sonnen cornered Covington (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) in his doctor stoppage TKO loss to Joaquin Buckley (21-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) earlier this month at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Fla. The doctor waved the fight off toward the end of Round 3 after a laceration on Covington’s right eyelid did not stop bleeding. Covington wasn’t happy with the outcome, but Sonnen later admitted he was on the verge of throwing the towel in to stop the fight.
