Out of action since December 2024, Colby covington remains far from the Octagon, but not from the media. One of the most controversial names in the current UFC roster, the American has returned to the spotlight on social media after engaging 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, provocations, 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. This time, the influencer decided to take it up a notch and face a professional athlete. Colby covington not only did he agree, but he also offered the young man $30 (around R$163) if he emerged victorious from the sparring.

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 the media appearance, the sporting moment of Colby covington is down. With just one win in his last four fights, the loudmouth 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 running for the belt.

Still, Covington made it clear that he intends to return to the octagon in 2025 and already has two targets in mind: Paddy Pimblett e Gilbert Durinho.
