Since his first fight with Kamaru Usman, Colby Covington has been adamant he can defeat the reigning UFC welterweight champion, and Usman’s latest impressive performance did nothing to change his mind.
Usman dispatched another one of his rivals in emphatic fashion on Saturday, defeating Jorge Masvidal by second-round knockout in the main event of UFC 261 in Jacksonville, Fla. Covington was in attendance for the first sold-out UFC event of the pandemic era, which means he had another chance to get a close look at his nemesis. Covington and Usman fought at UFC 245 in a back-and-forth battle that Usman won by fifth-round TKO.
