Colby Covington believes he ‘clearly won’ Kamaru Usman rematch three rounds to two

Colby Covington refuses to accept defeat to Kamaru Usman.

‘Chaos’ insists he beat ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ three rounds to two in their welterweight title rematch at UFC 268 and is adamant that he would have won their first matchup if referee Marc Goddard didn’t stop the action in the fifth.

“I clearly won that fight three to two,” Covington told Submission Radio in a recent interview. “The third fourth and fifth round were my rounds. And even if you were looking on a different side of the scope, I think you could see me winning the first round too.
