Out of action since December 2024, Colby Covington remains away from the octagon, but not from the media. One of the most controversial names in the current UFC roster, the American has once again become a topic of discussion on social media after starring in an unusual challenge with the digital influencer known as Chrogman. The encounter took place at the UFC Performance Institute (UFC PI) and included punches, taunts, and even vomiting.
With over 1 million followers on Instagram, Chrogman is famous for challenging followers and strangers to 'street fights' in videos that go viral on the internet. This time, the influencer decided to raise the bar and face a professional athlete. Colby Covington not only agreed, but also offered the young man $30 (approximately R$163) if he emerged victorious from the sparring session.

Unsurprisingly, the result was a technical massacre. Even controlling the intensity, Covington landed hard strikes to the waistline that knocked the influencer to the ground and even made him vomit. Later, 'Chaos' proposed another challenge: another $30 if Chrogman could last one minute without being submitted. The outcome was the same: absolute superiority for Colby, who landed two quick submissions.

Is Colby Covington's Octagon Return on the Horizon?
Despite his media appearances, Colby Covington 's current sporting record is waning. With only one win in his last four fights, the outspoken American is trying to bounce back after losing to Leon Edwards in December 2024, in a lackluster fight that once again took him out of the title race.
Still, Covington made it clear that he intends to return to the octagon sometime in 2025 and already has two targets in mind: Paddy Pimblett and Gilbert Burns.
