At UFC 268 last weekend, fight fans were treated to another thrilling encounter between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington. The pair battled it out over the UFC welterweight title for the second time. Once again, it was Kamaru Usman who came away as the victor.
While he may have been humble in defeat, Colby Covington was anything but humble in the weeks and months leading up to the rematch.
While he may have lost, Michael Bisping believes ‘Chaos’ deserves a lot of praise for how he drew more eyes to this Madison Square Garden showdown.

What’s next for Colby Covington?
While Colby Covington didn’t manage to win the title, he did prove why many regard him as the second best welterweight on the planet. Alas, with this defeat, he needs to go back to the drawing board.
A grudge match with Jorge Masvidal would make a lot of sense but ‘Gamebred’ is currently preparing to end his beef with Leon Edwards at UFC 269. There are plenty of other elite guys at 170 pounds for him to contend with, like Vicente Luque. At the end of the day, however, Colby Covington is going to do what he wants to do.
If that means sitting out and waiting for a big fight, so be it.
