Colby Ray Covington (born February 22, 1988 in Clovis, California) is an American professional mixed martial artist competing in the UFC’s welterweight division. Nicknamed “Chaos,” he is known for his elite wrestling, relentless pace, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt status, and polarizing persona. As of December 17, 2024, he is ranked #9 in the welterweight rankings.
MMA Career
Fighting Style
Covington is a wrestler by foundation—an NCAA Division I All-American who uses aggressive takedowns, ground control, and constant pressure. He also holds a BJJ black belt and has multiple submission victories. While not known for explosive finishing power, his cardio, top control, and volume striking make him a tough matchup.
Personal & Background
Covington wrestled in college at Oregon State University and later transitioned to MMA. He is known for his outspoken and controversial public persona, trash-talking opponents, and provocative behavior outside the cage.
Recent Developments
At age 37, Covington has lost three of his last four fights—against Edwards, Buckley, and Usman—and talk has turned to whether his welterweight title aspirations are realistic. He has publicly discussed a possible move to middleweight (185 lb) rather than cutting further to lightweight, citing concerns about health and longevity.
Additionally, he stirred controversy by choking rapper Lil Pump unconscious during a livestream, drawing widespread criticism.
