Surging UFC welterweight contender Colby Covington plans to win UFC belts in at least two divisions.<\/p>\n

“Chaos” was a recent guest on BJPENN RADIO where he revealed his plans on becoming a two-division champion.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, you know, the thing is this. I could go up to 185 (pounds), or I could go down to 155 (pounds). I’ve been beating the best middleweights in the world at American Top Team for a long time. So, I could go up and whoop some middleweight’s (expletive). Or I could go down to 155. I decided early in my career that I would go to fight 170 (pounds). I’d take the belt at 170, and then I would go look for the biggest fight possible, you know? So, it looks like McGregor’s there at 155. So, you know, after I take the belt from Woodley, I’m going to be looking for that little Irish (expletive).”<\/em><\/p>\n

Covington has been busy petitioning for a title fight with current UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, this when he is not avoiding boomerang attacks from UFC heavyweights.<\/p>\n

“Chaos” was most recently seen in action at UFC Fight Night 119 last month in Brazil, where he earned a unanimous decision victory over former title challenger Demian Maia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his post-fight interview Covington made headlines by calling Brazil \u201ca dump\u201d and went as far as to say that the countries people were \u201cfilthy animals\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI should have knocked him (Demian Maia) out. Brazil you\u2019re a dump! All you filthy animals suck! I\u2019ve got one thing to say.. Tyron Woodley I\u2019m coming for you! If you don\u2019t answer the front door, I am going to knock it in and take what\u2019s mine, that welterweight belt!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
