Colby Covington's emergence as a heel in the UFC over the past six years has seen him give countless fighters within the promotion new nicknames. 'Chaos' has shown an innate ability to infuriate fighters in multiple weight classes, in both the men's and women's divisions, due to his outlandish trash-talk.
Some of the most notable fighter nicknames given by Covington would be Rafael dos Anjos, whom he donned Rafael dos Nachos. Jorge Masvidal was baptized as Street Judas and budding UFC title contender Khamzat Chimaev was renamed Cumsh*t Chimaev.
Colby Covington has given several fighters multiple nicknames, like Dustin Poirier, whom 'Chaos' labeled as both Dustbin Poirier and Dustin Soyrier. Covington's arch-rival, Kamaru Usman, has also received several nicknames including The CEO of EPO and Marty Fakenewsman.

But Colby Covington has not just targeted fighters, as he labeled referee Marc Goddard as Marc not so Gooddard due to his officiating skills during Covington's first fight with Kamaru Usman. 'Chaos' was TKO'd in the fifth round of their bout at UFC 245 but blames Marc Goddard for an early-stoppage.
The longtime manager of Kamaru Usman and Khabib Nurmagomedov, Ali Abdelaziz, has also been targeted by the former title challenger. Covington donned Abdelaziz as Ali Abdelasleeze.
Possibly the most audacious example of Covington's heel persona is him labeling the most influential man in MMA, UFC president Dana White as Uncle Fester, the butler in The Addams Family TV show.
Michael Bisping on Colby Covington's threat to Jon Anik; believes 'Chaos' fights Leon Edwards next
Colby Covington was announced as the next opponent that Leon Edwards will face following the champion's victory over Kamaru Usman at UFC 286. Following the announcement, there was an uproar within the fanbase, who felt that Belal Muhammad was far more deserving of a title shot.
UFC commentator Jon Anik, whose brother hosts a weekly podcast with Muhammad, took to Twitter to share his sympathies with 'Remember The Name.' Covington didn't appreciate Anik's words and issued a "death threat" to the broadcaster during an interview with MMAFighting.com.
Former UFC champion Michael Bisping, who commentates alongside Jon Anik, released a YouTube video breaking down the recent controversy involving 'Chaos.' Bisping appears to have seen through the words and believes that Colby Covington is maintaining his heel persona:
"Colby is threatening to kill Jon Anik! He's not, he's just playing the game... it's not hard to feel for Belal, the man has won 8 in a row and unfinished business with Leon Edwards... [Colby] is a big draw, and he puts bums in seats..."
"The next fight for Leon Edwards is going to be Colby 'Chaos' Covington. Why? Because Dana White said it at the press conference and Dana's the president of the company."
