Video: UFC’s Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington nearly brawl in casino

In the 18-odd hours since Kamaru Usman won the UFC welterweight title by defeating Tyron Woodley at UFC 235, he has tried to confront Colby Covington twice already.

As he exited the cage last night in Vegas, Usman went directly towards interim champ Covington, who was sitting cageside. Security quickly got in the way and it was over before it began, but it was clear that Usman wants a piece of him.

Today, he took it a step further, as you can see in the above video from TMZ Sports.

While Covington was apparently waiting in line at a buffet inside the Palms Casino, Usman and manager Ali Abdelaziz came at him.
