Other than perhaps Tito Ortiz, it’s hard to think of a UFC fighter who has made his career as much about feuding with Dana White as Colby Covington has. The American Top Team welterweight contender has been on rocky ground with the UFC president going back well into 2018—and the UFC’s decision to strip him of his interim title.
That move, accompanied by a seemingly especially difficult negotiation process – to bring a title fight with Kamaru Usman together – seems to have entirely soured any working relationship between Covington and White. And while they’ve traded a few barbs through the media, things notably came to a head when Covington tried to confront White in a Las Vegas Casino.
