How could it be any different, Colby covington turned his attention to Kamaru Usman after defeating Tyron woodley No. UFC Las Vegas 11, held last Saturday (19). In a live interview with 'ESPN', the North American had a conversation with the light heavyweight champion (up to 77kg), who responded ironically to his rival's challenge and threats.

"Kamaru Usman, you were very lucky last time. That was my worst night and it was your best night. Wait for the next time I see you. There won't be any dirty games, there won't be any fake low blows, or false finger-in-the-eye. I'm coming to get you. You know who was winning the last fight. I'm going to get my belt again”, said 'Chaos'.

On the other side, Usman, who defeated Covington by knockout in UFC 245, competing for the category title, smiled and, when he had the opportunity to speak, he mocked Colby's statement.

“I broke your face. Look at me, I broke your face. You said that (that you would win) last time and I broke you”, said the champion.

While he's excited to get his rematch, Colby will likely have to wait a little longer. At the moment, Usman is negotiating to face the Brazilian Gilbert Durinho, number one in the ranking, in December, by UFC 256.

Currently, Covington occupies second place in the group led by the Nigerian. At the press conference after the UFC Las Vegas 11, the American suggested he might face his former friend Jorge masvidal, if he is not selected to compete for the title.
