Colby Covington Tattoos: What Does the UFC Star’s Inks Say?

Colby Covington, over the past few years, has proven to be one of the most entertaining UFC stars, leaning heavily into his villainous or heel character. As a part of his persona, the Clovis-born star makes sure to be rude to all his opponents and fellow fighters, which became a huge selling point for the former interim welterweight champion.

This has seen him go from nearly being cut from the UFC to becoming one of its most recognizable faces. The bombastic American loves the high life and regularly shares his luxurious lifestyle on social media. Another thing that Covington seems to like is art. As he makes his walk back inside the Octagon, let us take a look at his tattoos and the meanings behind them.

Meaning behind Colby Covington’s Tattoos

Covington has not spoken about the meaning behind his multiple tattoos. The welterweight has many tattoos on his body, with one of them needing no explanation. On his right bicep, Covington has his nickname ‘Chaos’ tattooed on it. He also sports a tattoo that seems to have been influenced by the Polynesian culture.

That tattoo has been inked in his left leg, but the former interim champion hasn’t opened up on what that means. However, some fans have speculated about the meaning behind it, but it has never been confirmed. The 36-year-old welterweight star also has some tattoos that are very symbolic of the country he was born in.

Other tattoos on Colby Covington’s body – Statue of Liberty etc.

Covington has the phrase “May Angels walk with me” tattooed on his left rib, which may be a prayer and, in conjunction with the cross on his left tricep, probably indicating his strong faith and love for God. Earlier this year, he got the opening phrase to the preamble of the United States Constitution, “We The People” and the Statue of Liberty’s head inked on the left part of his chest, reiterating his love for liberty and America.

Another symbolic American tattoo that ‘Chaos’ got inked was a bald eagle engulfed with the US flag on his left shoulder. Also, just like the Polynesian one, Colby Covington has tattoos based on other cultures as well. He has the Japanese character “武士道 ” which translates to ‘Bushido’, the warrior code followed by the Samurai in medieval Japan, on his right shoulder.

Now, let’s expand on the former interim champion’s patriotic nature, which he showcases through the aforementioned inks.

Colby Covington’s tattoo represents His patriotism for America

It’s no secret how much Colby Covington loves his country, as not only do his tattoos signify that, but even his statements during interviews show his patriotism as well. A staunch supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, ‘Chaos’ has been endorsing the billionaire for many years for his vision to see the United States become “Great Again.”

“President Trump is the toughest man on the face of this earth,” Colby Covington tweeted after Donald Trump dodged the recent assassination attempt on him. However, this isn’t the first time that the UFC star has been public about his feelings for the president-elect.

Moving to the fighting side of things, the 36-year-old Colby Covington’s last fight was a total bummer, given that his showing was highly lackluster. Do you think he’ll emerge he can turn things around this time against surging contender Joaquin Buckley at UFC on ESPN 63 in Tampa?
