Wants to “Make America Great Again”Colby Covington Bio:

Colby Covington is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the UFC’s welterweight division. Born on February 22, 1988, in Clovis, California, Covington is known for his wrestling-based fighting style and outspoken personality. A former UFC Interim Welterweight Champion, Covington has built a reputation as one of the most polarizing figures in the sport, both for his in-cage performances and his controversial persona outside the octagon.

Covington was an accomplished wrestler before transitioning to MMA, having competed at a high level in collegiate wrestling at Oregon State University, where he was a two-time Pac-10 Conference champion and an All-American. He made his professional MMA debut in 2012 and joined the UFC in 2014, quickly rising through the ranks with his dominant wrestling and relentless cardio.Covington’s biggest achievement came in 2018 when he won the UFC Interim Welterweight Championship by defeating Rafael dos Anjos. He later faced Kamaru Usman for the undisputed title in 2019, in a thrilling fight that ended with Covington losing via TKO in the fifth round. A rematch between the two took place in 2021, where Covington again came up short, but both fights are considered among the best in welterweight history.Known for his aggressive and relentless pressure inside the octagon, Covington uses his wrestling background to smother opponents while also incorporating striking, particularly with his volume of punches. Outside of his fighting abilities, Covington has embraced a brash, trash-talking persona, often generating headlines with his politically charged statements and rivalries with other fighters.

Despite his divisive public image, Colby Covington is widely regarded as one of the top welterweights in the world, with a career marked by elite-level performances and an unwavering commitment to his craft.

UFC 292 Detailed Payouts

UFC 282 (on December 10, 2022) plays host to a surprise main event featuring former champion Jan Blachowicz vs division dark horse Magomed Ankalaev. The original main event was a rematch title fight between Jiri Prochakza and Glover Teixeira. The champ Jiri got hurt and vacated the title and Glover declined a new opponent – so here we are with Ankalaev and Blachowicz battling for the vacant light heavyweight title. After losing his belt to Teixeira, Blachowicz rebounded with a victory over Aleksandar Rakic. On the other side, Ankalaev has won 9 straight since a stunning last second submission loss to Paul Craig. This card also features the highly anticipated return of Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett who takes on Jared Gordon.

Update: Blachhowicz and Ankalaev fought to a controversial draw in the main event with most pundits believing that Ankalaev did enough to earn the decision. In a highly questionable co-main event decision, Paddy Pimblett remained undefeated in the UFC after getting outgrappled by Jared Gordon for 3 rounds. Bonuses went to all fighters with finishes and Darren Till/Dricus Du Plessis took home the Fight of the Night bonus.
