Amid plans to return this summer, veteran welterweight, Colby Covington has accused fighters in his division — including Michael ‘Venom’ Page of using his name to score “woke points” in a bid to also secure a high-profile pairing with him.
Covington, who retains the number nine rank in the division amid his recent spell of inactivity, paired with a two-fight losing skid for the first occasion in his Octagon tenure.
Impromtly headlining UFC Fight Night Orlando at the tail end of last year, the Clovis native dropped a third round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to emerging contender, Joaquin Buckley in their main event clash — seeing a sizeable cut opened on his brow.
