I would’ve fought for free - Colby Covington explains why refused PPV points for UFC 272

During a pre-fight interview with Michael Bisping, Jorge Masvidal revealed that Colby Covington won’t be getting PPV points for their UFC 272 headliner on Saturday. There was apparently some truth to it, but according to Covington, not how Masvidal implied it to be.

As “Chaos” explained during his post-fight scrum, he refused to take PPV points for the event.

“I told Hunter Campbell (that) this fight, I didn’t care about the money. I wanted to come out here and fight this guy, ‘cause he’s talked so reckless. I was willing to take a pay cut, I didn’t care.
