Joaquin Buckley knows who the real Colby Covington is.
Buckley will look to score the biggest win of his UFC career on Saturday night when he closes out the promotion’s 2024 with a high-stakes scrap against the three-time title challenger in Tampa.
It will be Covington’s first time competing since delivering a lackluster showing against then-welterweight champion Leon Edwards at UFC 296 around this same time last year. In the time since, Covington claims to have kept busy by campaigning on behalf of President-elect Donald Trump.
