UFC star Colby Covington recently took a shot at Derrick Lewis, who is set to face Ciryl Gane for the interim heavyweight title on Saturday. He took to his Instagram account and posted a video clip that featured him and his two girlfriends. He went on to speak about UFC 265 tonight and said the following:
“None of the fighters on the card are relevant, the money you can make on MyBookie sure is.”

Colby Covington slams Derrick Lewis
Here is what Colby said about Derrick Lewis: “He’s fat, unathletic, and hates the people’s champion. Don’t be like Derrick, don’t be a loser. Don’t be a hater, be like me. Bet on Ciryl Gane, and stimulate your bank account.”
The head coach of undisputed champion Francis Ngannou sees the Houston native as a very live dog at the betting window. Eric Nicksick of Xtreme Couture will be keeping a tab on the fight between Lewis and Gane, which is set to headline UFC 265 at the Toyota Center in Houston.
Currently, Gane is listed as a -365 favorite on DK Nation, while the comeback on Lewis is +280. Nicksick certainly sees value on “The Black Beast,” who cashed as an even bigger underdog in his most recent KO win at February’s UFC Vegas 19 event.
“I actually won a lot of money on the Curtis Blaydes fight,” Nicksick told MMA Fighting . “Not taking anything away from Blaydes, but the blueprint was there to beat him. If you give a guy like Derrick Lewis 25 minutes of opportunity, it only takes one. One mistake and you saw what happens, the guy gets flatlined.”
