Colby Covington thinks Islam Makhachev's retirement comments might be less about actually walking away and more about getting paid. If you're half in and half out, Colby says just leave — don't keep one foot in the Octagon.
Could be a straight-up negotiation tactic to squeeze a bigger contract out of the UFC. Honestly? Not the worst play if true.
