UBERLANDIA, Brazil – With just one UFC fight to his name, Colby Covington isn’t about to start making demands. But after Saturday night, he isn’t expecting to jerk any more curtains, either.

“I’m a little frustrated with that,” Covingtin admitted to MMAjunkie. “I want to be high up on the card. I want to show that I’m an exciting fighter. They’re going to find that out after this performance, and they’re not going to want to put me on UFC Fight Pass anymore because I come to finish, and I come to be impressive. Hopefully after this fight they’ll reconsider and start putting me on main cards.”

Covington (6-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC), an American Top Team product, made his UFC debut in August after traveling to Macau to score a dominant first-round victory over Wang Anying. He returns to action on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 56, when he takes on Brazilian welterweight Wagner Silva (3-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at Ginasio Municipal Tancredo Neves in Uberlandia, Minas Gerais, Brazil.

“It’s kind of weird; I went to China, fought a Chinese (fighter), and now I’m in Brazil fighting a Brazilian,” Covington said. “But I’m just happy I have a job. I’m grateful for the UFC. I can’t thank the UFC enough for that, so it doesn’t matter if I’m the villain or good guy. I’m just here to win fights.”

Covington’s fight is the lone preliminary-card bout that streams on UFC Fight Pass (7:30 p.m. ET). Five additional prelims air on FOX Sports 2 (8 p.m. ET) before the main card airs on FOX Sports 1 (10:30 p.m. ET).

Covington would love to walk away with another quick win, and he hopes the performance gets him a more prominent role in his next booking.

“I want to get right back in there,” Covington said. “I’m in my prime. I’m feeling the best I’ve ever felt. I’m more well-rounded than I’ve ever been in my career, so I want to get back to work. I don’t want to take too much time. I just want to be active, and I want to start building my dynasty.”

Thus far, Covington looks like the real deal. A former college roommate of UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and recent UFC bantamweight title challenger Joe Soto, Covington believes he’s destined for big things in the sport. And if he gets the chance to prove it on a bigger stage, the 26-year-old is anxious to capitalize.

“I think by the end of 2015, I can be in the top 10,” he said. “I’ve just got to get the right fights. Whatever the UFC wants me to do to get there, I’ll do that.

“I’m not in any rush. I’m still young, relatively. I just want to keep putting on exciting fights, and whenever the UFC wants to give me the opportunities to be in the top 10, I’m ready to take them.”
