“Colby Covington Was Not My Toughest Fight”- Kamaru Usman Makes a Bizarre Statement

Kamaru Usman has established himself as a dominant champion with his recent performances. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has defended his belt twice this year already. In both fights, he violently stopped his opponents and broke multiple records.

However, in his reign as a champion thus far, Usman faced the most adversity in his very first title defense against arch-rival Colby Covington. Although Covington pushed him all the way to the last round, Usman secured a finish in the dying seconds, thereby defending his belt in style. A lot of fans believe that it was without a doubt the toughest fight of Usman’s career. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ does not agree.

Will we see Colby Covington vs Kamaru Usman 2 this year?

Recently, the welterweight champion went live on Instagram to answer questions from his fans. A fan asked the champion if Colby Covington was his toughest fight to date. 

UFC supremo Dana White has stated on multiple occasions that the first fight between the two men is one of the greatest fights he has ever seen. He also stated that Colby Covington would be next in line for Usman. However, the champion was not too upbeat about the idea.

If the fight were to happen, it would take place towards the tail end of this year as Usman has been extremely active in 2021. Do you think we get to see a rematch between Usman and Covington this year? Let us know in the comments below!
