LAS VEGAS — UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman promised he would take out his dislike for Colby Covington all over the Octagon inside T-Mobile Arena on Saturday.
Usman (16-1) outboxed Covington on the feet for nearly five rounds of an epic two-way duel before finishing him via fifth-round TKO to defend his 170-pound title at UFC 245.
“This one is not just for me but for the whole entire world right now,” Usman said.
The loss snapped a seven-fight win streak for Covington as he took his villainous and trolling character change and nearly rode it to a world title.
