Colby Covington is taking a cautious approach following his recent loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 296. Covington, who claimed to have suffered a foot injury during the fight, is in no rush to jump back into the octagon. Initially eyeing bouts with Stephen Thompson and Ian Garry, Covington is prioritizing his health and waiting for the right moment to return to fighting. Despite facing criticism from Daniel Cormier, Covington is determined to only come back when he is fully prepared for a significant matchup. With his focus on securing top-level fights, Covington is not interested in lesser opponents like Garry and is committed to waiting for the most compelling opportunities to arise.
