Colby Covington Calls out Kamaru Usman, Says He's Ducking UFC Title Rematch
Colby Covington was his usual combative self when calling out UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for a rematch.
Covington said on MMA Fighting's What the Heck? podcastย that Usman has "been running" sinceย beating Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261 in April (viaย Steven Marrocco of MMA Fighting).
"So as soon as his balls stop shrinking and he comes back to earth, he can fight me again," theย No. 1-rankedย challenger said. "But the thing is, heโs off the grid. Heโs probably got his phone on airplane mode, heโs denying all the UFCโs calls. He doesnโt want to sign the contract. Heโs just hoping some alien invasion happens where he can pick some other lightweight washout to fight."

Covington also told Usman to "stop hiding in your โso-called home countryโ of Africa."
The two originally crossed paths at UFC 245 in December 2019. Usman successfully defended the gold with a fifth-round TKO.
Covington has drawn criticism for making racist commentsย toward other fighters and more generally as a way to generate buzz. Based on his comments about Usman, he'll be returning to that tactic in his pursuit of another championship opportunity.
