Colby Covington flew to Las Vegas for UFC 235 with the intentions of talking face to face with UFC President Dana White. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covington and White were not on the best of terms heading into last weekend\u2019s event, this after Covington was snubbed of his \u201cpromised\u201d title shot by the promotion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covington went so far as asking for his release\u00a0from the UFC becuase\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0ordeal.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, after talking to the UFC boss at The Palms Casino, apparently \u201cChaos\u201d and White are back on great terms again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were on bad terms last week, but all I needed was a chance \u2014 an opportunity to talk to him, get face-to-face, let him know what\u2019s going on, let him hear my side, and let me hear his side,\u201d Covington said to Bloody Elbow<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re on great terms right now.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though Covington was initially furious with White, he believes he handled the situation well and didn’t complain about it like the average person would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of people can relate to me because everybody has a job where they hate their boss, and they work for their boss, and he\u2019s a piece of sh-t,\u201d Covington said. \u201cThat\u2019s why a lot of people can relate to me in my situation. But you don\u2019t hear me complaining over here. Yeah, I got passed over for a title shot when I was number one in the world and I had a belt and I did something nobody has ever done \u2014 and that\u2019s go to the White House and hang out with the sitting president, Donald Trump \u2014 but I\u2019m not gonna complain about it. I\u2019m not gonna make excuses about it. I just get back to work and I just keep being thankful and blessed to be able to live this American dream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you think Colby Covington will indeed get the next shot at Kamaru Usman? Sound off in the comment section, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
