Colby Covington confirms split from American Top Team after being removed from team website

The former UFC interim welterweight champion has split with American Top Team after training at the Coconut Creek, Fla., gym since he first transitioned from college wrestling into MMA.

Covington confirmed the move during an interview with The Score on Wednesday, one day after he was removed from the team roster on the American Top Team website.

“I am a member of Colby Covington incorporated,” he said. “I am a member of Colby Covington business, Colby Covington team, everything. This is my team now.”

Covington has been at odds with several of his now former teammates for the past few years.
