At one point you see Lil Pump’s body go limp, but Colby doesn’t let go. Pump initially struggles to free himself, but at one point his body fails and his eyes widen.
It is unclear how long Colby had Pump in the hold. The video starts with Covington choking Pump, and the UFC fighter is seen tightening his grip. That lasted about 10 seconds before Covington released the hold.
Looks like Pump tried to tap out, but he taps his own chest. The typical exercise would be to tap the opponent’s body or the ground.
Some fans were outraged…the former UFC champion shouldn’t have tried his hand on a non-MMA type. Some fans went after the person who shot the video, saying he should have intervened.

Others say Colby made the whole thing look like a joke, which is dangerous considering there are impressionable people who might try to imitate him.
