In a video uploaded on his YouTube, Covington addressed the loss and claimed that he could have carried on, even though the doctor had said that he could lose his eyelid:
"I was just getting warmed up in that fight. I think it was tied up 1-1, and I was starting to wear on him... So it was an unfortunate stop. And, you know, I feel like judges -- not the judges, but the doctor is the one that beat me tonight. I didn't feel like I lost to another opponent."
He also mirrored Dana White's opinion that if the fight had taken place in Las Vegas, it would not have been called off.
Expert insight on rumored New Jersey drones worries Joe Rogan
John Ferguson, CEO of Saxon Aerospace, a company that manufactures military-grade drones, recently shared his theory on the rumored sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects in New Jersey. Ferguson said in a video posted on TikTok that the nighttime activities of said drones hint at a possible search for lost nuclear warheads that went missing during the post-Cold War disarmament decades ago.
"Back in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan had dismantled the nuclear program. With Russia, there were countless nuclear missiles that were disarmed and disposed of...There were over 80 nuclear warheads that were in Ukraine that came up missing. We don’t know where they are."
Joe Rogan, who previously reacted to the incident with an old clip from his podcast, reshared the theory on X and commented:
"This is the first video about these drones that has got me genuinely concerned."
The UFC commentator was recently also concerned with the Joe Biden administration potentially starting World War 3 by permitting Ukraine to launch ballistic missiles into Russia.
Conor McGregor pens super-lengthy tweet defending grappling session
Conor McGregor faced mockery and backlash on social media for a recently posted video of a grappling session with fellow Dubliner Lee Hammond. Not only did fans make fun of him, but UFC lightweight Chase Hooper labeled his Brazilian jiu-jitsu as "white belt level."
While McGregor did not name anyone, the UFC megastar penned a long tweet explaining the moves in the video and his mindset behind them:
"Partner went for x-guard but without control of my back leg I can, with good balance and composure, step up and over into reverse knee on belly. I then slot my lead knee in blocking his hip fully while also securing control of both his wrists. I now have both my knees on my partner who bares full weight on top of him and no hands to fight."
