Colby Covington's "RAF aura" was ended by an embarrassing loss to Raul Rosas Jr., prompting speculation about his ability to compete with top contender Khamzat Chimaev. The report questions whether Covington can realistically challenge Chimaev following the setback.
A photo from UFC 296 on December 16, 2023, shows Covington entering the octagon for a welterweight title fight against Leon Edwards at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. That bout marked Covington's most recent title challenge before the reported loss to Rosas Jr.
