Colby Covington is set to fight Kamaru Usman at UFC 268 in November. The rematch between the duo is finally scheduled as Usman looks to defend his title for the fifth time. This is hands down one of the biggest grudge matches in the history of the promotion.

Nevertheless, ahead of the much-anticipated clash, ‘Chaos’ sat down for an interview with Submission Radio in what he mentioned as his last interview before fight week. And not surprisingly, the former interim welterweight champion went on an epic rant aimed at ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’. He once again called the champion the ‘CEO of EPO’.

“Because he has been doing EPO his whole career. It’s so obvious. He has chemical imbalance in his body. He’s got the pimples all over his back, all over his face. You’re a 35-year-old man, you don’t go through puberty when you’re notyour teens anymore. You should not be having that chemical imbalance, and that breakout you know,” said Covington.

“That’s testosterone being out of whack. And his estrogen and testosterone levels are out of whack, so, he is the CEO of EPO. I’ve heard first hand from some people that he train with, people that I went to college with to wrestle have said the same thing. They can verify it that he has donw EPO and injected it in his a**hole, in his a**. Not his a**hole, excuse my labguage there. So, he is the CEO of EPO, he’s marty juiceman,” he further added.
