Colby Covington has three big names in his crosshairs, including former UFC two-division champion Georges St-Pierre.
This past weekend, during the Real American Freestyle Wrestling event [RAF 06], when Covington got up on stage, he used the moment to call out St-Pierre, Kamaru Usman, and Arman Tsarukyan.
In another exclusive interview with LowKick MMA, “Chaos” revealed that the promotion is actively in discussions with “Rush” and wants to bring him on board to compete at an upcoming event.
Covington told LowKick MMA:
There’s been a lot of traction with those matches, and we might have GSP at the next show [RAF 07].”
RAF 07 is going to take place on March 28, and RAF 08 on April 18, and will be headlined by Merab Dvaishvili and Henry Cejudo.
In the same interview, “Chaos” once more pushed for a freestyle wrestling match with the Canadian Georges St-Pierre, tying it to the most recent United States’ 2–1 overtime win over Canada in the men’s hockey gold medal game at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. He added:
GSP is interested. He wants to come out, and he still has that competitive fire, and I know the fans still want to see him. GSP, get out here. Let’s do this. America versus Canada. We’ve got that rivalry going on, especially after what just happened at the Olympics with the hockey team, so let’s go settle it in real American freestyle. Colby Covington versus GSP.”
Check out Colby Covington’s comments below (4:03):
Covington’s last freestyle wrestling match was against former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold at RAF 5, where he beat Rockhold by tech fall.
With fighters like Arman Tsarukyan, Michael Chandler, Henry Cejudo, Merab Dvalishvili, Rockhold, and Covington, among many others, already signed with Real American Freestyle, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Georges St-Pierre, who is widely considered one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time, also steps into the RAF mats soon.
Khamzat Chimaev is game to wrestle with Colby Covington at the next RAF event
Although Georges St-Pierre is yet to respond to Colby Covington’s call-out, Khamzat Chimaev has shown interest in a wrestling match with Covington under the RAF banner. During this past weekend’s RAF 06 event, “Borz” posted on X:
