After the post-fight press conference of UFC 263, UFC president Dana White had confirmed that Colby Covington will get an opportunity for the Welterweight Title against Kamaru Usman. Since that announcement, Usman’s manager Ali Abdelaziz and Colby Covington have engaged in a vicious back and forth with each other.
Covington is always known for making controversial statements. He is never shy of criticizing anyone. As a result, his revelation at Submission Radio has caused a lot of chaos. He revealed that “I know how scared Usman is too. He is avoiding this rematch so bad. And he’s finding out you’re not the real friend he thought you were. That’s why he’s sitting down and having meetings with other managers.
“And I just have to say, Marty had a meeting with CAA, they had a meeting at Swan in Miami beach, the design district. It is because Marty is not happy with Ali. Not only is Ali not doing what he promised Marty, but he also is not able to get him out of avoiding a fight with me. Marty does not want to fight me, Ali can’t find a way around it, so Marty is entertaining new managers and wants specifically CAA.I
