This was a surprisingly good fight, and even though Covington outweighed Guida by like, 40 pounds. It was a close fight, and Covington and Guida both did heavy damage. In the end, Covington proved himself to be still just a bitch, and got KOed by the Carpenter. Back to the drawing board there, Covington. If you can't beat a LW, maybe you should consider Andy Kaufman-ing it up and accepting xx - Former Phoenix Fight Club's female challenge.
