Former UFC welterweight title challenger Colby Covington recently caught alleged child predators in Florida, which garnered a lot of attention from fans worldwide. Covington was spotted alongside streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy and rapper Lil Pump, punishing the culprits with body shots.
Despite being one of the most outspoken personalities in UFC history, Covington has stayed within bounds when it comes to fight promotions. He's gone too far in his attacks on some of his opponents, particularly in the lead-up to his title fight against former welterweight champion Leon Edwards at UFC 296.
However, outside of the octagon, Covington hopes to make an impact in his community. The 36-year-old recently appeared in Vitaly's social media segment: 'Catching Predators with Lil Pump' on the Stake-owned Kick streaming platform. It featured all three of them confronting alleged child predators.
Championship Rounds took to X and shared the clip of Covington and Vitaly confronting someone that has drawn a lot of attention online. The UFC fighter, aiming at the man, stated:
