"I think the last couple of months, they just kind of went sour, probably like the last six months. They were making some promises, and they weren't fulfilling the promises. [Hunter Campbell] was kind of stringing me along."
"I just don't like how I've been ghosted. And it's okay, that's the way you're going with your business, it's your business. But I'm gonna go on with my business."
"I want to wrestle all these guys - Khamzat, Arman, Usman. I want to wrestle all these guys that are active."
Colby Covington has experienced a strained relationship with the UFC, particularly with executive Hunter Campbell, who he claims made unfulfilled promises. Covington has not fought in the UFC since December 2024 and is now scheduled to wrestle Dillon Danis at RAF 7. He believes his involvement in wrestling has contributed to the fallout with the UFC, which allegedly prevents active fighters from competing against each other in wrestling. Covington emphasizes his independence and desire to be treated as a contractor rather than an employee.
