Imagine an alternate reality in which we all woke up this morning after UFC 245, and Colby Covington had not made a conscious decision two years ago to embrace the role of an over-the-top jerk. Had Covington not done that, which admittedly played a large role in propelling him toward the highest-profile fights, it’s likely the mixed martial arts world would hail his show of heart and valor before falling in the final minute of his attempt to wrest the UFC welterweight championship from Kamaru Usman on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Instead, #MAGAJAW was trending on Twitter . Covington suffered what the UFC later termed “a non-displaced midline mandible fracture” from a tremendous straight right hand in the third round of what was already a compelling main event at T-Mobile Arena
