Covington was recently passed over by the UFC in favor of Usman, who is now slated to challenge welterweight champion Tyron Woodley on March 2 in the co-main event of UFC 235. Given his status as interim welterweight champion, Covington was understandably irate at the decision — in an explosive interview on Monday, he called the UFC selecting Usman over him “a big f*ck you to the fans” and essentially dared UFC president Dana White to cut him from the promotion. He also didn’t mince words when asked for his thoughts on who would win the UFC’s unexpected new welterweight title pairing.
