Can someone please put up a picture of Colby Covington on his page? He's number 2 in the world, I think he deserves a picture in there. 82.134.150.235 (talk) 04:38, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone more experienced than me fix the mistakes in this article. Covington wrestled for the Iowa Hawkeyes not the ISU Cyclones, as is very clearly stated in the cited articles — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nexus8793 (talk • contribs) 16:48, 18 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

He should have a picture of himself on this page. He's a big figure in MMA today.

RE section "Alleged attack by Jorge Masvidal" -> change title to "Attack by Jorge Masvidal"

No longer 'alleged' as Masvidal was convicted of the assault in a Florida court.

Affix to the end of the section:

On 6th November 2023, Masvidal pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery in a plea deal that saw felony charges for aggravated battery and criminal mischief against him dropped. The following day during a media appearance, Masvidal vowed to "knock the rest of his teeth out".
