Welterweight fighter Colby Covington and HW #5 pound-for-pound fighter Francis Ngannou will be training together. Francis Ngannou shared a picture that went viral and fans are mocking Colby Covington now. The current #1 fighter in the welterweight division, Kamaru Usman, was joined by Ali Abdelaziz in mocking Covington on Twitter. Ali Abdelaziz is a noted talent manager at the UFC. He has managed fighters like Khabib Nurmagomedov, Kamaru Usman, Justin Gaethje, and others. Fans were not far behind in seeing the humor in the viral picture and added their bit of spice in the comments section.

How old is the Twitter post?
The pictures making the run are from April and are at least 8 months old. They somehow have found daylight all over again and the Twitter world can’t get over it. Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington are in the top two spots in the welterweight division and the beef and banter is only natural. Also, Ali Abdelaziz has managed Kamaru Usman so fans can understand him finding the joke funny. A lot of fans, however, were left confused about what was the humor in the post. We also saw them asking for explanations from others in the comments section.

If Colby Covington and Francis Ngannou, training together will be helpful for them, is yet to be seen. They may gain out of each other’s game and use this experience in their coming fights in 2023. It is also true that for the time being, the Twitter post has made Colby Covington the laughingstock and he will choose to ignore this instead of taking it hard. Let us know, what’s your take on this.
