For the third time, the UFC has booked a fight between Kamaru Usman [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kamaru-usman/#:~:text=Kamaru%20Usman%3A%20Net%20Worth%20and,do%20not%20include%20undisclosed%20bonuses.] and Gilbert Burns [https://www.ufc.com/athlete/gilbert-burns]. The two are reportedly set to clash in February next year. The location of the fight is yet to be decided. Combate [https://globoesporte.globo.com/combate/noticia/kamaru-usman-e-gilbert-durinho-tem-acordo-verbal-para-disputa-do-cinturao-do-ufc-em-13-de-fevereiro.ghtml] first reported the news that the two welterweights have reached a verbal agreement to fight at UFC 258 in the first quarter of 2021. There is no confirmation if the title fight will be the main event or not. However, as of now, there aren’t any major fights lined up for around the same time. Thus, there are high chances that the fight will headline UFC 258. Jorge Masvidal sees a kick blocked by Kamaru Usman [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/UFC_JB_2020-07-12_1111_20200712124648264.jpg]ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – JULY 12: Jorge Masvidal battles Kamaru Usman 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) As per Combate, Abu Dhabi is listed as a possible destination for the fight. Coincidentally, the first time that the UFC booked a fight between the two was at UFC 251 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-251/] on the very first event at Fight Island. However, Gilbert Burns had to pull out after he tested positive for COVID-19. Jorge Masvidal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jorge-masvidal/] served as a replacement for Burns and faced Usman on short notice. Due to the hype behind Fight Island and Masvidal stepping in on short notice, UFC 251 became the most successful PPV event of the year so far. However, Masvidal was unable to dethrone Usman, who won the fight via a unanimous decision. THE UFC HAD BOOKED KAMARU USMAN VS GILBERT BURNS THE SECOND TIME FOR UFC 256 After the first failed booking, the UFC targeted a fight between the two in December. However, this time around, the champ pulled out [https://www.essentiallysports.com/mma-ufc-news-breaking-ufc-256-main-event-called-off-kamaru-usman-needs-more-time-gilbert-burns/] of the fight as he felt he needed a bit more time to prepare. Usman is riding a twelve fight win streak in the UFC welterweight. With a win over Burns, he will overtake Georges St-Pierre [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/george-st-pierre/] for the longest win streak in the division. In his recent outings, the only fighter who has given him any trouble was Colby Covington [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/#:~:text=Colby%20Covington%3A%20Net%20Worth%20and,net%20worth%20of%20%242%20million.] at UFC 245. The fight went over four rounds with the two welterweights engaging in a striking fest only for Usman to come out as the winner. On the other hand, Burns has looked phenomenal ever since he moved up to welterweight. His last two wins have been over Demian Maia and former champion, Tyron Woodley. The fighters have plenty of experience of going back-and-forth in training. Thus it will be noteworthy to see how the fight between them plays out.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Colby Covington: Net Worth 2024, Record, Girlfriend, and More</h2>
<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.

[caption id="attachment_3456144" align="aligncenter" width="5175"]<img class="wp-image-3456144 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1038084842.jpg" alt="" width="5175" height="3555" /> December 16, 2023, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA: LEON EDWARDS 21-3-0 of Erdington, birmingham, England defeats COLBY COVINGTON 17-3-0 of Miami, Florida USA by a unanimous decision 49-46, 49-46, 49-46 during UFC 296 at T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas Las Vegas USA - ZUMAo117 20231216_zsp_o117_058 Copyright: xMikaelxOnax[/caption]

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>
Covington is one of the best fighters in the UFC, and it is no secret that once you climb the ranks of the promotion, Dana White does not shy away from paying you a hefty sum for a fight. As a result, Colby Covington has managed to earn himself a net worth of 3 to 5 million dollars. His total recorded MMA fight earnings so far have been about $4,423,000.

He started with a base salary of $8000, however, as he kept on climbing the ranks in the world of MMA, 'Chaos' has now earned himself a base salary of $750,000. Adding to it the sponsorship money and bonus that he earns, it is safe to say that the American fighter has truly earned major success in his life. In fact, his last fight against Leon Edwards earned him around $800k despite being on the losing end.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Arguably the <a href="http://www.gspofficial.com/bio" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">greatest</a> mixed martial artist the sport has ever seen, Georges St-Pierre made his debut in UFC in 2004. GSP is a 3rd dan Black Belt in Kyokushin Karate, a 1st-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a black belt in Gaidojutsu, and a black belt in Shidokan karate.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Georges St-Pierre: </span><span data-preserver-spaces="true">UFC welterweight Champion</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">After an unsuccessful attempt at capturing the UFC welterweight title, GSP climbed his way back to another title shot and faced off against Matt Hughes in a rematch. GSP not only avenged his loss against Matt Hughes, but he also captured the welterweight title. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, GSP lost the title to young Matt Serra in the next fight. He won the interim title after defeating Matt Hughes for the third time and then challenged Serra for the undisputed title. Unlike before, GSP made quick work of Serra and finished him in the second round.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">After a 3 year lay off from the sport, GSP came back to achieve another piece of UFC glory, the middleweight championship. GSP challenged then-champion, Michael Bisping. Even with the long hiatus, GSP dominated Bisping and won the fight to become a two-division champion.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Georges St-Pierre: Fighting Style</h2>
GSP is one of a kind athlete. The Canadian was never a wrestler, but turned out to be one of the best wrestlers in MMA. Nobody can stop a double leg from GSP. As far as his striking is concerned, he has the most fundamentally sound striking. His jab is one of his strongest weapons. GSP is a mixed martial artist in the truest sense of the word.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Georges St-Pierre: Achievements</h2>
GSP has nine title defenses to his name. He has won the welterweight championship two times, the interim-welterweight championship one time, and the middleweight championship one time.



He has the <a href="https://www.fightmatrix.com/ufc-records/title-defenses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">third</a>-most consecutive wins in UFC title fights.
