“(Colby) Covington’s x-ray showing his jaw injury,” wrote those responsible for the page.

Covington's injury occurred in the middle of the third round and was essential for the duel to take a different direction. Until then, Colby had a slight advantage in the confrontation against his rival and, after the injury, the Nigerian actually entered the fight and started to take advantage of the favorable situation.

Suspicions about a fracture increased when, between the third and fourth rounds, the American informed one of his coaches that he had broken his jaw. From this moment on, the athlete began to act safely and protect the affected region at all times.

Usman then began to undermine the challenger's face until, in the fifth round, he connected a good sequence of blows that led Colby to a knockout.
