Colby Covington was not impressed with Kamaru Usman’s performance in Jacksonville, Florida last night.
Usman, the reigning welterweight champion, knocked out Jorge Masvidal in the UFC 261 main event to retain his title. But ‘Chaos’ says he would have got the finish much sooner, labelling ‘Gamebred’ a journeyman fighter.
“It took eight minutes longer than I would finish Jorge Masvidal in every time we trained,” Covington said on the ESPN post-fight show (h/t Nolan King of MMA Junkie). “That guy is a journeyman. What’s he got: 15, 20 losses on his record? You shouldn’t be happy or praising yourself for beating a journeyman like that.
