Close to a possible welterweight title fight (up to 77,1kg), Vincent Luque gave his prediction for the rematch between Kamaru Usman e Colby covington. The Brazilian fighter praised the current champion and said that he will win again in the second duel. The statement was given in an interview with the website 'The All Star'.

“I think Kamaru wins. He is great. He is definitely one of the greatest champions in the welterweight division. He is evolving with each fight. It's crazy how much his boxing has improved in his last two fights, especially the one against (Jorge) Masvidal when he knocked him out. I see him winning this fight. I think he will fight with intelligence with his strikes. I think we're going to see another knockout. I would say between the second and third round. If it's a different fight, it might be a little more difficult for Kamaru, but I think he can still win. It could be that the knockout comes between rounds four and five, but I don’t see the fight going to the end,” said Luque.
The rematch between Kamaru Usman e Colby covington will happen in UFC 268, scheduled for November 6th. In the first duel between the two athletes, in December 2019, the Nigerian scored a knockout in the fifth round in a very balanced confrontation and remained champion of the under-77,1kg division.
