Colby Covington Eyes Middleweight, Targets Israel Adesanya And Sean Strickland

Covington said after RAF 5 win he “felt good at this weight class” & “will do great at 185,” citing “unlimited endurance.” He added, “I think someone like Israel Adesanya intrigues me...he's someone I don't really like.” He’s also wants Strickland, calling him “just a cardio kickboxer” with “no threats.” Meanwhile, he hasn’t fought in UFC since a Dec 2024 doctor stoppage loss.
