It should come as no surprise that Colby Covington has a different perspective on the happenings at UFC Tampa this past Saturday night.
The three-time welterweight title challenger returned for the first time in a year, falling to Joaquin Buckley via third-round technical knockout in the evening’s main event at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The bout was halted by a cageside doctor at the 4:42 mark of Round 3 due to a significant cut above Covington’s right eye.
It was unclear exactly what caused the wound, but Covington seemed to believe it occurred due to a clash of heads.
