In case you didn’t know…
Colby Covington made his mark in the most dominant manner possible during his fight with Robbie Lawler on UFC on ESPN 5 this weekend. Covington dominated the fight from the beginning to the end, with Lawler stumbling around and looking lost.
They went the whole 5 rounds and while Lawler was able to get in a few key shots, the overwhelming majority of the key strikes was landed by Covington, who had 500+ strikes to his name after the 5 rounds.
Covington then went ahead and brought up Matt Hughes truck accident while mocking Lawler, in the way only Covington can. [Read about it here.]
Covington and Kamaru Usman have a long history of tension and the two had even got into a brawl in a hotel after Usman won his Championship. After Covington won his fight against Lawler, the two got face to face again at UFC Newark.
The heart of the matter
During the interview, Covington sent a message to Usman as only he can.
Kamaru Usman is extremely unlikely to take to this kindly.
What’s next?
A fight between Covington and Usman seems inevitable at the moment.
