Since his loss to Joaquin Buckley at UFC on ESPN: Covington vs. Buckley, Colby Covington has been somewhat silent on his return to the UFC octagon. His periods between fights have always been longer than fans would desire. He has now made something else for himself outside of the UFC, becoming a competent card game player and even taking up streaming.

On a recent YouTube stream where Covington was playing online poker, he would talk vaguely about his time record the most recent season of the The Ultimate Fighter.
