Colby Covington had a tough week, suffering a TKO loss to Joaquin Buckley at UFC Tampa and getting knocked out on the first day of the World Series of Poker Paradise Super Main Event.
Colby Covington hasn’t exactly had a stellar week. After a third-round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Joaquin Buckley at UFC Tampa, he jetted off to The Bahamas. Why? To compete for a slice of a $50 million prize pool at the World Series of Poker Paradise Super Main Event.
But luck wasn’t on his side. Knocked out of the tournament on day one! Ouch.
UFC Superstar Colby “Chaos” Covington made quite the entrance—twice in 24 hours! Despite the controversial ending with Buckley, he was back in action for Day 1D of the $50M GTD SUPER Main Event. Talk about resilience! #respect ✊
Now, let’s talk poker. Covington’s no newbie; he’s been raking chips for years, amassing over $230,000 in live earnings. Just last year, he snagged nearly $50,000 with a seventh-place finish. Not too shabby!
Back to the octagon: Covington faced Buckley after a year-long hiatus, stepping in on short notice. Unfortunately, it marked his second consecutive loss. In his last six fights, “Chaos” is 2-4, including three world title bouts and wins over Tyron Woodley and Jorge Masvidal.
Life’s a rollercoaster for Colby Covington—poker tables and octagons alike.
