Colby Covington says he could explore WWE once he retires from MMA.

Colby has not been in the best form lately. He has suffered three losses from his last four bouts, including a loss to Leon Edwards at UFC 296, which resulted in him missing out on the UFC Welterweight Title. Colby blamed a foot injury for his poor performance, but many saw that as an excuse for being outclassed.

He had the chance to redeem himself when he faced Joaquin Buckley at UFC Tampa. But he came up short after the fight was stopped, giving Buckley the win. Covington’s last UFC win was against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 272 in 2022. A fan asked Covington if he would be interested in joining WWE after his MMA career. Covington responded by saying it could be a possibility. 

“I would probably say like two years. I wanna really start working on my in-ring wrestling and my crowd-pleasing ability in the next year or two. Maybe I’ll go up to Orlando and go to the WWE training center. But I really want to start perfecting my craft in the WWE with the wrestling moves and hope that I can make a transition in the next year or two,” Covington said
