Colby Covington on UFC Retirement, Says Joaquin Buckley ‘Does Nothing for My Career'

Colby Covington details how many years and fights he has left; previews UFC Tampa vs. Joaquin Buckley.

Months away from his 37th birthday, the former interim welterweight champion looks to not only return to the win column but also the title conversation this Saturday at UFC Tampa.

Coming from a year layoff, Covington remains confident he beats Buckley any way he wants this weekend... and no, the trash-talking contender doesn't have a nickname picked out for him . Buckley's a newer name in the welterweight Top 10, his only ranked win being that TKO over "Wonderboy" at UFC 307 in October.In contrast, Covington's last seven fights are against UFC titleholders, and "Chaos" was the main event for all of them. Heading into his eight-straight main event at UFC Tampa, Covington claims Buckley "does nothing for my career" moving forward.

For the undisputed championship or not, Covington doesn't plan on fighting forever, revealing his retirement plans ahead of his next fight.
