Colby Covington is the self-proclaimed villain in the UFC, but as much as one would like to think that his theatrical acts could spill into other parts of his life, it doesn’t look like that has been the case. For instance, not much is known about his personal or love life. Sure, back in 2021, he insinuated dating UFC fighter and then-teammate Polyana Viana, but the nature of his comments, which many deemed as ‘revolting’, made fans unsure whether it was another one of his acts.

Over the years, we have had glimpses of what lies beyond his UFC character, but did UFC 314 add another layer to it? The event, which was a pretty exciting pay-per-view, had many celebrities and fighters attend the show, including President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, fans took great interest when they saw former welterweight interim champion Colby Covington appear on the crowd cam, and guess what?

It looked like he had a date with him!

A mystery woman sat alongside him and gave the welterweight fighter a side hug and smiled as the cameras captured them. However, fans and UFC pros felt something wasn’t right. Combat fans took to the internet and claimed the woman seen with ‘Chaos’ was Joseph ‘JoJo’ Diaz Jr‘s child’s mother. However, there is no confirmation about the same, nor do we know anything about the mystery woman or the relationship she shares with Covington.

Colby Covington isn’t married, and as far as reports go, there is no available information about him being in a relationship or casually seeing someone. So how did the UFC world react to his appearing with a date at UFC 314? Here’s what they are talking about.

Fans and UFC pros react to Colby Covington being accompanied by Joseph Diaz’s partner

When UFC fighter Corey Anderson saw Colby Covington with the woman at UFC 314, whom nobody was able to identify, he thought maybe she was paid to be there by the ex-interim champ. He posted, “Yall think the girl with Colby was his girl or a paid “actress”?” It didn’t take time for Team Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, who was convinced that the woman had been “paid” by Covington.

Colby Covington is notorious for getting paid actresses to feature in his promo videos, hence these takes were bound to come in. In fact, there was a time when his entire Instagram feed was filled with videos where he would promote products, and models would be handing out as well.

So you won’t be surprised when we tell you that even the fans were convinced that the woman is a paid actor, with one of them questioning, “How much do you think he paid her to go the event with him?” However, some people mistook her identity for some influencer on social media, with one fan asking, “Is that the girl that walks on expensive car’s??” But the speculation didn’t stop there as one fan wondered if it was Covington’s relative. “Is that his sister?” But that’s not the only noise ‘Colby’ made at UFC 314!

He got into a backstage argument with Paddy Pimblett. Both men yelled as cameras captured them, but in seconds, the security stood between them and ended the argument.

As always, Covington’s presence has brought in drama, but his fans are waiting for him to make a comeback. He last fought in December 2024, but lost to Joaquin Buckley via TKO. That was his second consecutive loss. His previous loss was against Leon Edwards at UFC 296.

Whenever he decides to return, he will have to snatch a win. What do you think?
