Former interim welterweight champion, Colby Covington claims he will be ready to make a return to the Octagon in the winter of this year, and is playing up a clash with former lightweight kingpin, Charles Oliveira in his immediate return to the Octagon.
Covington, the current number four ranked welterweight contender, has been sidelined since he headlined UFC 296 back in December of last year, taking on arch-rival, Leon Edwards.
And suffering a unanimous decision loss to the Birmingham native, Covington failed in his third bid to become an undisputed gold holder, however, expressed an interest in fighting the dominant champion in the future again.
