Colby Covington is one of UFC’s biggest names. The second-best welterweight in the world, Covington knows how to get a crowd going for a fight. The American fighter is known for his flashy talking game and for taking personal jabs at his opponents. 

‘Chaos‘, arguably one of the best fighters in the entire promotion, hopes to keep it going.

To enhance himself as a true heel with his villain-like persona, Colby Covington did the unthinkable and walked out into the arena with WWE legend Kurt Angle’s walkout music. 

During an interview with ‘The Schmo’, Kurt Angle talked about how Covington asked him for permission for the music.

“Well, he approached me and asked me if he could use it and I said I don’t know because I don’t know who you are and I did some research on and found out how damn good he is I said yes you can definitely use my music.” 

The UFC star walked out to Kurt Angle’s music at UFC: Newark and beat Robbie Lawler by decision. His walkout caught the fans by surprise and it got the desired reaction as the crowd erupted.

Colby Covington had a dominant win over Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272. Masvidal then assaulted him outside a steak house for which Covington took action. 

Amidst all the legality, Covington’s fight scheme in the UFC is still going hot. Dana White last stated that he was unsure of how to proceed with ‘Chaos’ as well as the UFC’s BMF ‘Gamebred’.

As it remains though, Covington is still ranked as the second-best welterweight in the division, i.e. he is the top-ranked welterweight contender.
