The welterweight strap will be on the line tomorrow at UFC 261. Kamaru Usman will defend his belt against Jorge Masvidal for the second time. For fans tuning in, it will be interesting to see how much a full training camp and not having to cut 20-pounds in six days will help ‘Gamebred’. One person in particular who will be in attendance, and will be eager to see how this fight plays out, is Colby Covington.
‘Chaos’ is next in line for the winner of the fight at UFC 261, as confirmed by UFC head honcho Dana White. Hence, in order to scout the competition at close quarters, Covington has confirmed that he will be at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena to watch former teammate and friend, Jorge Masvidal, take on arch-rival, Kamaru Usman.

In a recent interview, Mike Bohn of MMA Junkie asked ‘Chaos’ if he believes Kamaru Usman will beat Jorge Masvidal on Saturday night.
The former interim welterweight champion continued, “The only entertaining thing about this fight is that I’ll be in the arena. That is why I came, I came for the fans, I didn’t came to see this boring a** fight. No one cares about these uncharismatic guys. I came to be here for the fans. I am the people’s champ for a reason and I am going to give them a show tomorrow night.”
