Colby Covington, a contender for the UFC welterweight title, explained why he completely eliminated alcohol from his life. The fighter told how, at the age of 19, he was caught by the police while driving under the influence. After this incident, Colby was expelled from the famous wrestling club Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling

“It was hard to go through because I was so young at the time. A 19 year old guy, not even an adult, just a small child, incapable of making good decisions. It was hard, really hard, because I had wanted to fight for Iowa all my life under Dan Gable and Tom Brands, and now I had become a failure in the eyes of these guys. They lost hope in me, they abandoned me. They didn't think I deserved a second chance.”
