At a point, you see Lil Pump’s body go limp, but Colby doesn’t let go. Pump struggles at first to free himself, but at a point, his body fails and his eyes widen.
It’s unclear how long Colby had Pump in the hold. The video starts with Covington choking Pump, and you see the UFC fighter tighten his grip. That lasted for around 10 seconds before Covington released the hold.
It looks like Pump was trying to tap out, but he’s tapping on his own chest. The typical drill would be to tap out on the opponent’s body or on the ground.
Some fans were outraged … the former UFC champ should not have been trying out his holds on a non-MMA type. Some fans went after the person videotaping it, saying he shoulda stepped in.

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