UFC superstar and former Welterweight champion Colby Covington recently spoke with Sports Illustrated after his big victory at UFC 272, where he defeated Jorge Masvidal in the main event. During the interview, Covington spoke about his desire to join WWE once his MMA career comes to an end. That and more can be found in the highlights below.
Says he would love to cross over into WWE after his MMA career is over:
“I’d love to cross over and come into the WWE, but I love being a UFC fighter. I love fighting; it’s my passion and what I was born and put on this earth to do. After my career with the UFC is done, WWE is something I’d love to dabble in.”
Says Ronda Rousey has really impressed him in WWE:
“Ronda Rousey has really impressed me [in WWE]. Her promo game has come on strong. She’s just a true entertainer. She knows how to put on a show for a crowd. She is the baddest woman in combat sports. Look at her track record—she’s a trendsetter. The things she did in the UFC are unheard of. I’m a big fan of Ronda Rousey and I love the way she competes. I think she’s going to be the best WWE wrestler for a long time to come."
