Covington Says He's Not 'Fully Retired,' Open to UFC Return for Right Fight
Colby Covington clarified that his May retirement announcement was primarily a procedural step to allow him to compete in Real American Freestyle wrestling, where he holds the inaugural RAF Cruiserweight Crossover Championship. Covington told MMA Junkie he remains open to returning to the UFC if the right matchup is offered, citing a lack of appealing fights — including missing out on a spot at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House in June — as the reason he stepped away. He stressed that wrestling has always been his first passion, but has not closed the door on the octagon.
