Colby Covington sees Justin Gaethje getting dominated at UFC Freedom 250.
Gaethje (27-5 MMA, 10-5 UFC) is a big underdog in his title-unification bout against champion Ilia Topuria (17-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) in Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 (Paramount+) main event at the White House in Washington.

Covington has personal beef with Gaethje, and wants nothing more than to see him knocked out by Topuria.
“He’s not just going to beat duck-lip Gaethje, he’s going to humiliate him,” Covington told Submission Radio. “Justin Gaethje is about to become a meme forever, and I’m excited. I’m here for it. I can’t wait to see it. We’ve never had a good relationship for many years.”
Covington, who’s 3-0 under the RAF banner, meets Arman Tsarukyan in the main event of RAF 11 on July 18 at UWM Panther Arena in Milwaukee. He has his eyes set on Gaethje afterwards.
“After Ilia Topuria exposes him and they have to take his carcass off the South Lawn in DC at the White House, he should come over to RAF and get his ass beat on the wrestling mat against me as well,” Covington said.

“He’s an All-American wrestler. We wrestled in the same conference in college, so I would love to see Justin Gaethje on the wrestling mats of RAF after he gets exposed and knocked out and flatlined against Ilia Topuria at UFC Freedom 250. God bless you, brother. America first.”
