The war of words between Colby Covington and Kamaru Usman has always been extremely exciting. Both men are at the top of their game and are two of the very best in the division.
After his recent title defenses, ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has looked seemingly unbeatable. However, the person who came the closest to beating him might be his next opponent.
In a recent interview, ‘Chaos’ shared his thoughts on the comments made by Kamaru Usman following Leon Edwards’ win over Nate Diaz at UFC 263.

Covington continued, “He was born in Dallas, Texas. He went to college in Nebraska. So he is trying to save face and act like he is Nigerian, go to Africa and act like he is an African and this and that. But he is desperate. He is running from me, he is hiding. And he is not answering calls from the UFC to get this contract signed between me and him.”
