Colby Covington Retires From UFC, And Here's Why

Colby Covington has retired from UFC competition after being removed from the active roster.

His missed spot on the Freedom 250 card, four years without a win, and a recent TKO loss to Joaquin Buckley pointed to the end.

The 38-year-old leaves as a polarizing former interim welterweight champion and notable title contender.

His next move could be outside MMA, including wrestling or other combat sports.
