Colby Covington (Coconut Creek, FL) was absent from play during training for UFC 225, but the champ is now back on the felt, looking to find himself a Day 2 bag.

Alright...so we did say that the focus on notables was ending, but we can't overlook the newly minted UFC Welterweight Interim Title holder Colby Covington (Coconut Creek, FL).  Colby owned Rafael Dos Anjos during UFC 225, winning the title in a decision.  While Colby is a beast in the octagon, he's also shown his prowess at the tournament tables, winning a recent event here at the Isle.  Covington took down a $150 No Limit Hold'em event on June 30th, earning $2,702 for first place, which brought his career earnings to over $54,000.
