Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington after the third unsuccessful attempt to win a full title, he named the name of his next desired opponent.

ā€œThereā€™s this guy who said a lot of stuff about me. Everyone thinks Stephen Thompson is a good guy. He had a lot to say, so I would have been happy to see him say it to me in the Octagon.

Before my fight, he said that I was going to have a broken jaw. ā€œHe was always saying stuff, so I wish he would say it to my face,ā€ Covington said at the UFC 296 post-event press conference.

Let us remember that at the UFC 296 show in Las Vegas, Covington was defeated on points by champion Leon Edwards, and Thompson was ā€œstrangledā€ by Shavkat Rakhmonov.
