Colby Covington expresses frustration with UFC, open to RAF move

Colby Covington voiced complaints that the UFC shows no interest in him, doesn't promote him, and hasn't included him in significant events like the White House fight card. Despite his frustration, Covington stated he still wants to compete but is prepared to dedicate his remaining competitive years to RAF (Russian MMA promotion) if necessary. In other news, Artem Vakhitov, who last defeated Alex Pereira in kickboxing and is now helping Ciryl Gane prepare, claimed Pereira will lose because he gained too much mass. Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Alex Ulberg by dismissing complaints from a "stripper," and Khamzat Chimaev showed restraint when discussing Sean Strickland's provocations, comparing him to a circus clown and noting Strickland privately tells people he's just promoting fights.
