Since the start of COVID-19 and the subsequent lockdown restrictions in the United States, UFC 261 is going to be the company’s first pay-per-view event with a live audience in attendance. The event will be hosted at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida.
Colby Covington trains at MMA Masters in Miami, almost four hours away from the fight venue. However, he promises to be in attendance at the April 24th UFC PPV event. Although there hasn’t been any confirmation by the promotion about Covington being the backup, in an interview with The Schmo, ‘Chaos’ vowed to step in on short notice if required.
Colby Covington will stay ready to step on the scales at 170 lbs
If UFC President Dana White summons Colby Covington for UFC 261, the former NCAA Division-1 wrestler promises to hit the scales at the welterweight limit. If a fighter unfortunately bows out of the UFC 261 main event, Covington is prepared to capture the welterweight belt on April 24th.
