One month, you’re champ. And the next, you’re a contender. So says UFC President Dana White, who announced Thursday night that former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington needs to fight his way back into contention. “Colby now is going to have to fight again and earn the spot to get back,” White said during a Facebook Live chat with the Las Vegas Review-Journal following a UFC 235 press conference. If it wasn’t clear already, White again confirmed Covington (14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) does not hold the interim belt he won last June with a decision over ex-lightweight champ Rafael dos Anjos .
