At one point, you see Lil Pump’s body go limp, but Colby won’t let go. Pump struggles at first to free himself, but at one point, his body gives out and his eyes widen.
It’s unclear how long Colby kept Pump in the hold. The video starts with Covington choking Pump, and you see the UFC fighter tighten his grip. This lasted about 10 seconds before Covington released the hold.
It looks like Pump was trying to hit, but he is hitting his own chest. The typical drill would be to hit the opponent’s body or the ground.
Some fans were outraged… the former UFC champion shouldn’t have been trying his moves on a non-MMA guy. Some fans went after the person filming, saying he should have intervened.

Others say that Colby made the whole thing seem like a joke, and that’s dangerous considering there are impressionable people out there who might try to emulate him.
