Colby Covington admits to regrets amid UFC's long, winding White House saga: 'I'm mad at myself'

For as much noise as Colby Covington has made throughout his career, even he has learned when to take a step back. After missing out on a chance to compete at the upcoming UFC White House card , that time appears to be now. Speaking Wednesday on "The Ariel Helwani Show," the one-time interim welterweight champion addressed his frustrations with the UFC after recently taking shots at UFC CBO Hunter Campbell.

In interviews this week, Covington went as far as to label Campbell a "hater" for trying to "ice him out" of fights. Despite those claims, Covington still believes he's on good terms with the company. "My relationship with the UFC is always going to be good in my book, because they've changed my life," Covington told Uncrowned.

"They've made me a self-made multi-millionaire. I came from nothing. Now I can take care of my parents' houses, pay their cars and do things that never would have been possible without the UFC.

So I'm always going to be grateful for the UFC. "When I spoke out the other day, [it] was just a little frustration. I thought that I would have been rewarded with the White House fight.
