In the latest issue, we talk about Colby Covington's massive cashout at a poker tournament, Chael Sonnen's hot take on the aftermath of the Jake Paul vs. Hasim Rahman Jr. fight cancelation, and more. UFC star Colby Covington earns payday at a record-setting poker tournament Two-time title welterweight challenger Colby Covington reportedly made a killing after advancing to the final table of a record-setting poker tournament in Hollywood, Florida. Talk show host Andy Slater reported that 'Chaos' beat 7,696 other entrants to place 7th at the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown (SHRPO). The UFC welterweight star apparently bagged $48,298, which is almost the equivalent of a UFC performance bonus. Taking to Twitter, Slater posted a photo of Covington with the caption: "UFC star Colby Covington makes final table of record-setting poker tournament at @HardRockHolly in Florida, beating 7,696 other entrants. He gets $48,298 of the $2.5M prize pool for finishing 7th."

During a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, Sonnen said: "I wouldn't even be talking to you if it wasn't for the defense of the boxing community [for Rahman]. You wonder why Dana White is not gonna jump in there with tens of millions of dollars changing the community, changing multiple athletes' and trainers' and their teams' and their families' lives. That's not gonna happen now."
