Few fighters can keep up with Colby Covington ’s pace. Covington (15-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) faced former UFC welterweight champion Robbie Lawler in the main event of UFC on ESPN 5 in August 2019, looking to cement himself as the No. 1 contender at 170 pounds. From the opening bell, Covington gave Lawler no room to breathe, putting on a suffocating pace throughout the entire 25 minutes. Covington threw nearly 600 strikes in the contest, setting the single-fight record for highest output in UFC history.
