“At the moment, Gilbert Burns (Durinho) is (Kamaru) Usman (champion)’s next opponent. Colby is there. The first fight (between Covington and Usman) was incredible. I love that fight. I don't know. Maybe we can get him another fight. Maybe he’ll face (Jorge) Masvidal,” said Dana.

After passing the former champion of the category without any major problems this weekend, Covington did not hide his desire to exchange forces against Kamaru, by whom he was defeated in December last year, in the fight for the linear title of the category.

Current number two in the rankings, if the athlete is confirmed as Masvidal's next opponent, UFC fans could see an interesting confrontation. Former training partners at American Top Team, Colby and Jorge were friends for years, until, last year, they broke off their relationship and started exchanging barbs through the press.

Masvidal, today, is number four in the group and was negotiating a rematch against Nate diaz, for the symbolic belt of 'Most Thick in MMA'.
