In case you didn’t know…
At the recently concluded UFC Newark event, Colby Covington made his return to the Octagon for the first time since 2018, as ‘Chaos’ defeated former ATT training partner Robbie Lawler via split decision in the main event of the show.
In his post-fight interview, Covington called out current UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman and laid down the challenge to ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’, claiming that he is willing to fight for the title at later this year at the Madison Square Garden at UFC 244.
The heart of the matter
Following Robbie Lawler’s loss to Colby Covington at UFC Newark, current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones expressed his disappointment in the outcome of the fight, as he tweeted out saying that Lawler let the whole world down after failing to defeat Covington.
Covington, in response to Jones’ comments, stated that the current Light Heavyweight Champion knows firsthand about letting the world down and labeled him as ’the biggest piece of sh** in all of sports’. (H/T: Bloody Elbow)
Colby then shifted his focus towards former Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley, claiming that he is no longer a relevant fighter and referred to him as a mere afterthought.
The former interim Welterweight Champion finally referred to Ben Askren, as he labelled the former ONE and Bellator Welterweight Champion a bum, who will be forgotten after his fight against Demian Maia.
What’s next?
Colby Covington is apparently looking to fight Kamaru Usman for the UFC Welterweight Championship at UFC 244, which takes place at the Madison Square Garden in November.
