Colby Covington’s next combat sports appearance won’t be taking place in the Octagon.
The fighter known as “Chaos” will lock horns with former UFC middleweight kingpin Luke Rockhold in the Real American Freestyle headliner on Jan. 10 at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida. The wrestling event will stream on Fox Nation. The organization announced the match on Wednesday.
An Unlikely Pairing
Covington did not compete at all in 2025. The former interim welterweight champion’s last appearance came at UFC on ESPN 63 in Dec. 2024, when he suffered a doctor stoppage loss to Joaquin Buckley.
