Colby Covington’s presence was very much felt in Las Vegas during UFC 235 fight week.
The former UFC interim welterweight champion was in town because a welterweight title fight between Tyron Woodley and Kamaru Usman was co-headlining the event. Covington decided to go to Las Vegas himself — the UFC did not request he be an official guest fighter.
“I don’t feel like I stole the show, I know I stole the show,” Covington told Bloody Elbow. “The people know I stole the show. It was a boring week; no one was even talking about the fights until I showed up.
