It’s quite clear that Colby Covington is playing a character inside the UFC. The former welterweight champion was on the cusp of being removed from the company. However, his heel turn surprised many and has made him quite relevant in the MMA world.
Covington is relatively less active on social media despite his antics outside the Octagon and on the microphone whenever he makes an appearance. It is partly due to his MAGA persona that we know very little about the Colby Covington behind that mask. Since the heel turn, Covington has never posed with his family or sister for his social media platforms and continues to lead a private life.
We tried to dig a little deeper into Covington’s life before he donned the hat of America’s Champion and here’s everything you need to know about Covington’s family.
