Colby Covington, a polarising character in the MMA world, continues generating headlines inside and beyond the octagon. Covington made a spectacular entrance in a helicopter at the Trump International Property. His entrance coincided with a recent promotional effort that reflects his larger-than-life image. This not only demonstrates Covington’s flare for the theatrical but also highlights his distinct approach to self-promotion and entertainment inside the UFC.

The video starts with Colby Covington making a grand entrance via helicopter at the Trump International Property. He thanked former US President Donald Trump for allowing him to shoot this interview with ESPN MMA. The interview goes on as usual, with ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto asking him questions about the fight and his plans for the future. Covington further insinuated that there are levels to the UFC fighters and said this:

Probably most fighters you talk to can’t even find an Uber ride to get here but I’m showing up in a helicopter. I think that shows who runs business around here and who is the biggest and best business in the UFC at the welterweight division right now.

Covington’s welterweight title fight against Leon Edwards at UFC 296 represents an important moment in his career. The ESPN MMA interview with Brett Okamoto sheds light on Covington’s thinking and preparation for this high-stakes fight. This will likely remain his last shot at the undisputed championship.
