Anthony Smith reveals a weak point that Jorge Masvidal can exploit against Colby Covington at UFC 272

Anthony Smith recently shared a weakness of Colby Covington's that Jorge Masvidal could capitalize on at UFC 272.

"Lionheart" appeared on Michael Bisping's Believe You Me podcast to have a chat with the former middleweight champion. While previewing the UFC 272 main event, here's what Smith said:

"Colby's not afraid to kind of exchange in the firefight a little bit. Now, again, they do know each other very well. So, I don't know if Colby's gonna change that. But my one knock on Colby is he is almost too high output. Like his hands, he throws so many punches they're never at his face long enough to protect it anyways."

Watch Smith talk to Bisping about Covington vs. Masvidal:

The light heavyweight believes that Covington relies too much on his volume while striking. In the process, 'Chaos' leaves too many openings and is vulnerable to counter shots. Smith continued:

"He just walks through, kind of wades through the fire. You're not gonna be able to do that with everybody. He got put down a couple of times by Usman in their last fight because he kind of just waded his way into range and started throwing bombs. So, I think that is Masvidal's chance is to, with Colby's high output, he's gonna have to take a couple, but I think that's a fair trade-off to Masvidal."
