The former interim UFC welterweight champion talked about how he wants to win this fight for America. “Oh, you know I’m a money fighter, I’m a prizefighter, but I’m the number 1 fighter in the world. I wanna fight the biggest fight, this is the only fight there is to make.” Covington continued by talking about how many people want to see this fight happen. “There are so many people that wanna see this fight. I mean, you got one of the most powerful people in the world that wants to see this fight you know in Donald Trump. You got my good friend Candace Owens. My good friend Lil Wayne, you know my good friend Eddie Gallagher, a war hero.” COLBY COVINGTON WANTS TO MAKE THE UFC GREAT AGAIN Every fighter who competes in any sport wants to win the championship of that sport. ‘Chaos’ is no different as he plans to give his everything to win the UFC [https://www.ufc.com/] title.

<h3><strong>Who is Colby Covington?</strong></h3>
Colby 'Chaos' Covington is one of the most renowned fighters in the UFC. A part of the promotion's Welterweight roster, Covington is a former Interim UFC Welterweight Champion. As of 2024, he is #6 in the UFC welterweight <a href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=website_internal&amp;utm_campaign=web_link_1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.
<h3>Colby Covington’s Early Life</h3>
Born on February 22, 1988, in Clovis, California, USA, Colby Covington was raised in a middle-class family by his parents Brad and Noelle Covington. He spent much of his early life in Oregon, where he attended the Thurston High School in Springfield. Taking after his father's passion for wrestling, he started learning the sport and began impressing everyone in his school as a wrestler. He then won the state championship as a senior, and this earned him the attention of college scouts who got him enrolled at Iowa Central Community College.

In his college years, Covington then won the NJCAA Championships in 2007 at 165lbs while also being roommates with Jon Jones. After finding major success as a junior college-level athlete, he soon took a transfer to Oregon State University. In his senior college, Covington truly became a chaotic opponent for whoever he faced, becoming a two-time Pac-10 Conference champion in 2010 and 2011 (at 174lbs) and earning the All-American honors.
<h3>Colby Covington’s Girlfriend</h3>
Not much is known about Covington's dating life, but it was rumored that he was in an alleged relationship with UFC fighter Polyana Viana. While the duo did not directly confirm their relationship, it was insinuated by Covington that he had a sexual relationship with the Brazilian fighter. He stated that his being with Viana was part of the reason why he decided not to accept a short-notice fight against Leon Edwards at UFC Fight Night: Edwards vs. Muhammad.
<h3>Colby Covington’s Net Worth 2024</h3>

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman 2023: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
Kamarudeen Usman, better known as Kamaru Usman, migrated to the United States when he was eight years old. Usman started wrestling at a young age at Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas. He was known as "Marty" because his coach could not pronounce his name properly.

'The Nigerian Nightmare' earned the NCAA Division II All American title three times during his time with the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He was a two-time national finalist and <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://infohub.projecttopics.org/1910342-kamaru-usman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">became</a> the NCAA DII champion in 2010.

Usman made his MMA debut in 2012 and won his first match via a second-round TKO. Unfortunately, he lost his second bout via a rear-naked choke. Usman claims that he did not realize the importance of Jiu-Jitsu before this fight. As of October 2023, Usman sits at #1 in the UFC welterweight division <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: UFC Career</h2>
After amassing a 5-1 record, Usman received the opportunity to be on The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians. He won both of his matches and then submitted Hayder Hassan to win the twenty-first season of TUF.

Usman continued racking up wins. He went on a nine-fight win streak in the UFC before facing off against <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyron-woodley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyron Woodley</a> for the welterweight strap. Usman dominated Woodley to win the belt and then defended it four times.

In his first title defense against Colby Covington at UFC 245, Usman claimed a spectacular fifth-round TKO victory. Then, he defended his title for the second time against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jorge Masvidal</a> at UFC 251, where he won via unanimous decision.

[caption id="attachment_609069" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-609069" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210406203714/GettyImages-1255678592.jpg" alt="Kamaru Usman" width="1920" height="1341" /> ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - JULY 12: Kamaru Usman of Nigeria battles Jorge Masvidal in their UFC welterweight championship fight during the UFC 251 event at Flash Forum on UFC Fight Island on July 12, 2020 on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)[/caption]

His third title defense was against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/gilbert-burns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gilbert Burns</a> at UFC 258, where he claimed a magnificent third-round T/KO victory. His last fight was a rematch against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261, where he claimed dominating second-round KO victory. Next, Usman successfully defended his title for the fifth time in another rematch at UFC 268 against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colby Covington</a> on November 06, 2021.

However, this proved to be his last title defense, as Usman lost the next fight to Leon Edwards at UFC 278. Next, he suffered another loss to the same opponent at UFC 286. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' holds a record of <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/f1b2aa7853d1ed6e" target="_blank" rel="noopener">15-2</a> in his UFC career.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Fighting Style</h2>
On his feet, Usman is not the best striker. However, when he mixes in his takedowns, his striking becomes dangerous. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' may not have a crowd-pleasing style, but he dominates his opponents with his superior wrestling. He has a strong clinch game.

He is also one of the strongest welterweights on the planet. Besides that, very few people can match his pace of fighting. Usman's chain wrestling style is nearly unstoppable.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Kamaru Usman: Achievements</h2>

Kamaru Usman

Kamaru Usman 2023: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements Kamarudeen Usman, better known as Kamaru Usman, migrated to the United States when he was eight years old. Usman started wrestling at a young age at Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas. He was known as &#8220;Marty&#8221; because his coach could not pronounce his name properly. &#8216;The Nigerian Nightmare&#8217; earned the NCAA Division II All American title three times during his time with the University of Nebraska at Kearney. He was a two-time national finalist and became the NCAA DII champion in 2010. Usman made his MMA debut in 2012 and won his first match via a second-round TKO. Unfortunately, he lost his second bout via a rear-naked choke. Usman claims that he did not realize the importance of Jiu-Jitsu before this fight. As of October 2023, Usman sits at #1 in the UFC welterweight division rankings. Kamaru Usman: UFC Career After amassing a 5-1 record, Usman received the opportunity to be on The Ultimate Fighter: American Top Team vs. Blackzilians. He won both of his matches and then submitted Hayder Hassan to win the twenty-first season of TUF. Usman continued racking up wins. He went on a nine-fight win streak in the UFC before facing off against Tyron Woodley for the welterweight strap. Usman dominated Woodley to win the belt and then defended it four times. In his first title defense against Colby Covington at UFC 245, Usman claimed a spectacular fifth-round TKO victory. Then, he defended his title for the second time against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 251, where he won via unanimous decision. ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES &#8211; JULY 12: Kamaru Usman of Nigeria battles Jorge Masvidal in their UFC welterweight championship fight during the UFC 251 event at Flash Forum on UFC Fight Island on July 12, 2020 on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) His third title defense was against Gilbert Burns at UFC 258, where he claimed a magnificent third-round T/KO victory. His last fight was a rematch against Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261, where he claimed dominating second-round KO victory. Next, Usman successfully defended his title for the fifth time in another rematch at UFC 268 against Colby Covington on November 06, 2021. However, this proved to be his last title defense, as Usman lost the next fight to Leon Edwards at UFC 278. Next, he suffered another loss to the same opponent at UFC 286. &#8216;The Nigerian Nightmare&#8217; holds a record of 15-2 in his UFC career. Kamaru Usman: Fighting Style On his feet, Usman is not the best striker. However, when he mixes in his takedowns, his striking becomes dangerous. &#8216;The Nigerian Nightmare&#8217; may not have a crowd-pleasing style, but he dominates his opponents with his superior wrestling. He has a strong clinch game. He is also one of the strongest welterweights on the planet. Besides that, very few people can match his pace of fighting. Usman&#8217;s chain wrestling style is nearly unstoppable. Kamaru Usman: Achievements Usman won the NCAA DII bronze medal in 2008, silver in 2009, and gold in 2010. He won TUF: 21 in 2015 and the UFC welterweight strap in 2019. Usman has won one &#8216;Fight of the Night&#8217; and three &#8216;Performance of the Night&#8217; bonuses in his UFC career.
