Colby Covington retires from UFC after 17 appearances

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Colby Covington has retired from mixed martial arts, with his UFC career concluding after a 12-5 record across 17 appearances. A primary reason for his departure appears to be the UFC's decision not to include him on the UFC Freedom 250 card, a move that followed his removal from the welterweight rankings. Despite his past achievements, including an interim welterweight championship, Covington's recent performance and a four-year win drought signaled the end of his competitive window in the promotion.
