Colby Covington plans to prove the doubters wrong at UFC Tampa.
Covington is set to return to the Octagon for the first time in a year when he headlines UFC Tampa against Joaquin Buckley. The former interim welterweight champion is coming off a lackluster loss to Leon Edwards in a fight for the promotion’s welterweight title.
With Covington losing his last fight and not fighting the way he wanted to, he says he plans to give the fans a treat in his bout against Buckley on Saturday night.
“After Masvidal, I got another shot for the undisputed title,” Colby Covington said on UFC Journey. “The first kick I threw, I broke it on his elbow; I was compromised from the very first round, the very first 30 seconds of the fight, and I knew it was going to be a tough night for me. With a broken foot in a big fight against a guy who wanted to take my head off, who’s probably the hardest fight I’ve ever had to endure. I know I’m so much better than that. Now, it’s about coming back and giving the fans a real treat of who Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington is. People have tried to write me off, and now it’s about rewriting all those wrongs.”
Covington has a great chance to remind everyone how good he is against Buckley at UFC Tampa. If Covington can pull off the upset, he will be right back in the title picture at welterweight.
