Covington was almost going to lose his career as a UFC fighter. The top welterweight contender was saved by a promo he cut for the promotion during his fight in Sao Paulo, Brazil at UFC Fight Night 119. In the co-main event of this Fight Night Brazil, Covington beat top contender Demian Maia and went on to hurl abuses at the country of Brazil turning him heel.
