Kenny Florian ‘leaning towards Colby Covington’ in UFC 245 title fight against Kamaru Usman

Love him or hate him, Colby Covington is a hell of a fighter.

The American Top Team (ATT) standout is on a seven-fight win streak against a who’s who of UFC welterweight contenders and Kenny Florian believes ‘Chaos’s’ frenetic pace could be the difference maker against Kamaru Usman.

Speaking on a recent edition of the Anik & Florian podcast, co-host ‘KenFlo’ said he is ‘leaning towards Covington’ beating current champ Usman to win the welterweight title at UFC 245.

“I think that Usman’s a tremendous fighter but I have a hard time believing that was the best Tyron Woodley out there on fight night,” Florian said, per BJPenn.
