Colby Covington has become a polarizing figure in the UFC. Also, the ‘Chaos’ has already proved how tough he is inside the octagon. However, initially, the fans and the UFC were not behind one of the best welterweight fighters.

In 2017, Covington was in the last fight of his deal and the UFC informed him they will not offer him a new contract. Covington, 11-1 in MMA and 7-1 in the UFC, was riding a 4 fight win streak; However, the UFC felt Covington was lacking the it-factor.

When Colby Covington entered the octagon against Damian Maia in Brazil, he was unsure of his future with the UFC.

Yet Covington had a plan; The welterweight fighter never lacked the skills, and after hearing the criticism from the UFC, he molded himself into another person. He worked tirelessly and watched WWE footage of former wrestlers and learned how to handle himself on the mic. Also, he had taken inspiration from ‘The Bad Guy’, Chael Sonnen.

Later, he executed his plan and shut down Damian Maia’s takedown, and outclassed him in front of the Brazilian fans. But he himself overshadowed his performance with the promo he cut inside the octagon.
