Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington wants to move up to middleweight and has already called out Sean Strickland and Israel Adesanya.
Covington most recently returned to winning ways at RAF 05 against former UFC middleweight kingpin Luke Rockhold. He wants to carry the same momentum whenever he enters the octagon, potentially in 2026, and snap his two-fight losing skid.
‘Chaos’ has lost 3 out of his last 4 UFC fights. In his previous outing, which was in 2024, he lost by TKO (doctor’s stoppage) against the surging Joaquin Buckley.
