Colby Covington apparently starts to get tired of keeping a 'persona', according to an ex-PUC light weight.
In his career, 'Chaos' made a reputation for his wild antics outside the cage.
Although he has been proven that he has proven his wrestling references on fighting evening, the American has become more familiar with his trash can.
However, entering into so many verbal sparring competitions apparently starts to take its toll.

Paul Felder says that Colby Covington is 'struggling' to keep track of his persona
Recently Paddy Pimblett had a run-in with Colby Covington and said the grappler just stared at the floor.
However, this is not because the former challenger of the world title was necessarily afraid, but according to Paul Felder, just because the wrestler encourages an act that starts to remove him.
During an episode of The Believe You Me Podcast, 'The Irish Dragon' said: “I want to start with this, there was also a meeting with Kamaru Usman, when Kamaru walked past Colby Covington, and he was nothing but respectful.
“I think his persona is fading now, I think he is struggling to keep that Maga, Mr. America, bully from College Persona. I think he has trouble getting through it.
“He is personally personally; the real situation is that he has nothing against you, Paddy Pimblett, he doesn't really want to talk to you. He only does it to stay relevant.
“When he is finally retired, he will be the first to tell you, it was all bull —. I think he is now struggling with the same face towards it towards the end of his career.
“That is the problem when that kind of personality is not real, because it is not.”
