Casual fans may not know who he is, but hardcore MMA followers are very familiar with Colby "Chaos" Covington.

As an old adage goes, "There is no such thing as bad publicity", and this credo is something that Covington seems to be living by. After the Brazil incident, he went on to engage in rifts with several fighters such as Jon Jones, Lyoto Machida, Fabricio Werdum, and reigning welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.
