Although Kamaru Usman Won UFC 268, Michael Bisping Believes He Lost Against Colby Covington in One Key Area

Colby Covington is easily one of the most polarizing figures in mixed martial arts today. He is someone who engages in a lot of trash talk before his fights and likes to make it personal. ‘Chaos’ recently got praise from one of the best trash talkers in the game.

The MMA community has always appreciated Covington’s skills inside the octagon. He is one of the best out there right now, and him challenging for the UFC welterweight title twice shows everyone that. His last outing was at UFC 268 against Kamaru Usman. Even though he fell short and lost via a unanimous decision, according to Michael Bisping, he won the trash talk battle against the champ.

While talking about him, Bisping said, “Now as we know, Colby is not backwards in coming forwards. He is not shy, he likes to talk a bit of s**t, talk a bit of trash. Okay, and he does it well. I must admit, last time against Kamaru Usman in that fight there. At the press conference, I mean, Usman won the fight, but I think Colby won the press conference.”

The pre-fight press conference of UFC 268 saw Covington and Usman go at it. Both traded shots and didn’t hold back. However, the crowd seemed to be on the challenger’s side. He was getting them to react and kept them excited. He took some nasty shots at Usman, including shots at his family and him avoiding the fight.

Covington, however, lost the fight and will enter the octagon for the first time since then at UFC 272. He will take on his former best friend Jorge Masvidal.

Colby Covington eyeing Kamaru Usman trilogy after Jorge Masvidal fight

Former best-friends and roommates, Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal, will have a chance to settle their bad blood. Both men will square off in the main event of UFC 272 on March 5, 2022. However, ‘Chaos‘ is just not focused on this fight, but also on what he thinks comes next.

He is someone who has taken the champion to his absolute limit both times they have fought. Now, he wants that trilogy fight with him. During the UFC 270 live weigh-in show, he was asked where a win against Masvidal puts him.

He said, “It puts me right back in line to get another fight with Usman. The people saw in Madison Square Garden and New York City what happened in that fight. I easily won three rounds. I think I won four rounds.”

“There’s no one that’s on his level that can compete with him like I can. This fight needs to happen again, there needs to be a trilogy. He hasn’t proved that he’s the better fighter… So I think after I finish Jorge Masvidal on March 5th, it puts me right back in line to get my title shot.” – Covington added.

The animosity and genuine hate between Masvidal and Covington has got people excited. Both are two of the best in the welterweight division, and a win here will make either of them a top contender once again.
