“We may have to go to court. Because let's imagine: Tom Brady won the AFC Championship. And Roger Goodell tells him: “You won't be in the Super Bowl, because we don't like you ". No, this will not happen.
“If the UFC wants to be a circus and a corrupt business, then that's their problem. I defend what I believe. I will not back down. I don't care what Uncle Fester says and I am the number one fighter in the world. Look at the UFC website. I had a belt that Uncle Fester put on me. I was the only fighter who was invited to the White House. What else needs to be done? What are the current criteria for a title fight? We will go to court. I'll make it hell for the UFC. They are already trying to turn my life into hell. The business they are trying to do is ridiculous. It does not make sense," said Covington.
