Kamaru Usman knew when he signed up to fight Colby Covington that he was going to have to duck and dodge all sorts of insults from the outspoken former interim welterweight champion.
Ahead of UFC 245 on Saturday, the former “Ultimate Fighter” winner turned 170-pound king has already heard just about every possible insult from Covington. But there were two particular jabs that crossed the line.
At the top of the list was Covington invoking Glenn Robinson’s name when he was exchanging words with Usman at the pre-fight press conference several weeks ago.
