Colby "Chaos" Covington proved he can do a little more than talk, as he secured a unanimous-decision win over Rafael dos Anjos to claim the interim welterweight championship in the co-main event of UFC 225 in Chicago.
Covington's pressure game and wrestling were on full display, as the 30-year-old (14-1) constantly harassed and smothered Dos Anjos (28-10) at every turn.
This is the clearest sign yet that Covington has what it takes to be a legitimate contender in the division. The brash 30-year-old's winning streak now sits at six, with wins over Demian Maia and Dos Anjos adding extra weight to his streak.
