The start of a rivalry between Colby Covington and Kamaru Usman
The rivalry started after Kamaru Usman became the welterweight champion by defeating Tyron Woodley at UFC 235. At this time, ‘Chaos’ had already become the interim champion, but never fought for the undisputed title. Later, after Covington’s win over Robbie Lawler, he met the new welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman, in a post-fight show.
Both the fighters engaged in an altercation by exchanging some trash talk. Later, the duo met in a bad blood match where Kamaru Usman defeated his opponent in the closing minute of the last round. Since then, ‘Chaos’ has kept the rivalry alive with his trash talk and has been demanding a rematch to avenge his loss.
