Colby Covington is currently preparing to face Kamaru Usman at UFC 268 on November 6. This will be the second time Covington has challenged Usman for the welterweight title. The first time that happened, at UFC 245 in 2019, Covington left the cage with a TKO loss and a broken jaw.
Recently Covington has expressed his belief that he will defeat ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ and then jump up in weight to beat Israel Adesanya for the UFC middleweight title.
One person who thinks this scenario is outside the realms of possibility is former UFC middleweight champ, and UFC Hall of Famer, Michael Bisping.
