Colby Covington (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC) is only a few weeks removed from his main event defeat at the hands of Joaquin Buckley (21-6 MMA, 11-4 UFC) on Dec. 14 from Amalie Arena in St. Petersburg, FL in UFC Tampa‘s main event. Despite “Chaos” having Chael Sonnen and Hulk Hogan flanked on either side of him, with Hogan’s Real American theme music ringing out on the public address system, Covington sustained a third-round TKO.
The fight doctor intervened in the final minute of round three after a cut affected Colby Covington’s vision.
