Covington claimed that the Muhammad vs. Della Maddalena matchup was robbing MMA fans of a worthy title fight. 'Chaos' did not make a prediction for the fight and stated that he was only interested in his own fights:

"To be honest, I feel bad for the fans... The fans are getting robbed of a high-level title fight. I don't think that pay-per-view does over 20,000 pay-per-views. So, I feel bad for the UFC. These are the guys you have in a title fight? I mean, I could care less, to be honest. Like, I'm the champ of this division. Anybody that fights me, it's gonna be the championship title fight... So, I don't really pay attention to anything but other than my business."

Colby Covington speaks about Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall

It is well-known in the MMA community that Colby Covington does not share the friendliest of relationships with UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones. 'Chaos' recently had a conversation with MMA coach Tim Welch and spoke about a potential clash between Jones and Tom Aspinall.

Covington claimed that ' Bones' was dodging a fight against the British heavyweight and will end his MMA career without sharing the octagon with Aspinall:

"I don't think Jon is fighting [Aspinall]. I think he's going to duck him and go into retirement... Jon's ducking and he's trying to ask for an unreasonable price. You can't be asking for $40-$50 million when you don't draw money to the company like that. I think he's going to end up retiring before he fights Aspinall."
