Colby Covington believes Kamaru Usman was on performance-enhancing drugs when he knocked out Jorge Masvidal at UFC 261 last Saturday.
Usman surprised the masses when he knocked out Masvidal with a swift, powerful right hand to retain his status as the UFC welterweight champion and make it four consecutive title defenses. Masvidal had never been KO’d in his professional career – only TKO’d once – while Usman, who was known to have knockout power, was predominantly seen as more of a heavy grappler. That’s what made his sleeping of Masvidal on the feet all the more surprising.
