The former interim champion, Colby Covington, was offered to fight Leon Edwards in 2021 on short notice. However, he did not accept that fight, demanding to be paid more. Covington spoke about it on the ‘Submission Radio’ podcast, where mentioned that he was busy romancing Polyana Viana, who was his training partner. He said, “There wasn’t much talks [about the Leon Edwards fight]. I was busy b***s deep on Polyana Viana so to get me off the couch on three weeks’ notice to fight some Leon Scott guy, it was going to be a price tag.”

This comment caught the attention of Polyana Viana, who then set the record straight. She mentioned that she and Colby Covington were just friends and that she already had a romantic partner. Besides that, Viana also mentioned that ‘Chaos’ made an unusual request to her, which she did not agree to. This led him to get upset.

“Colby wanted me to finger him in the a**, but I did not want to. He got upset,” said the strawweight fighter without holding back. But all that was in 2021. What does Covington’s love life look like presently?

Is Covington single or taken?

As of now, there’s no indication that Colby Covington is married. The welterweight contender, who has spent much of his adult life competing under the UFC banner, has shown little interest in settling down publicly. Instead, his social media and interviews mostly highlight his training, fights, and signature trash talk aimed at fellow fighters.

While marriage doesn’t seem to be on the horizon for Covington, his focus remains squarely on his MMA career. After almost a two-year hiatus, he made his return to face Leon Edwards at UFC 296 in December 2023 where he came up short in his quest for the undisputed welterweight title. Now, at UFC Tampa/UFC on ESPN 63 on December 14, ‘Chaos’ will be stepping into the Octagon against Joaquin Buckley in a matchup that promises fireworks!
