TRAINING: Currently I am training about 5 hours a day, 2 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.

Thoughts on opponent, Colby Covington? Colby has a strong BJJ background.  I have been practicing to avoid getting taken down and also practicing escapes.    Most my training is still at what I am good at, which is striking and stuffing the takedowns.
