Colby Covington hasn’t fought in the UFC in 13 months time. To find the last Saturday night where he made the trek to the fabled Octagon, you’d need to go back to December of 2024, a night which saw “Chaos” head to the cage in Tampa, FL on the last show of the UFC’s 2024 schedule.
That evening, Covington went down in defeat to Joaquin Buckley (21-7 MMA, 11-5 UFC) by way of third-round TKO, sustaining a cut above his eye, forcing the fight doctor to stop the contest. His hiatus from competition ended over the weekend.
