Step aside Dustin Poirier, because Colby Covington now has his sights set on reigning UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.
‘Chaos’ is targeting a middleweight title fight against ‘The Last Stylebender’ if he beats Kamaru Usman in their upcoming welterweight title rematch at UFC 268.
“I’m gonna fight in my weight class against Kamaru Usman,” Covington told Bang Energy’s Jack Owoc in a recent interview (h/t Sportskeeda). “I’m gonna get the world title, 170, welterweight, and then I’m going to be working with you and Bang Energy to put on the muscle mass and we’re going to go up to middleweight, to 185 and we’re going to beat Israel Adesanya.
