One of the biggest talkers in MMA history, Colby covington has collected enemies over the years. However, one of his former opponents occupies a prominent place in the fighter's mind. The former interim welterweight champion (up to 77,1 kg.) confessed during a live broadcast on Twitch who among all his former opponents, harbors the greatest animosity towards Kamaru Usman.

“Definitely Marty Juiceman (Kamaru Usman). Just because he’s a cheater and a coward. He definitely cheated multiple times in our fights. I can’t respect someone who cheats in a fight. I never cheated. I did everything the right way. I didn’t cut corners, I didn’t ask for shortcuts. I had to go a long way,” said the athlete, who was defeated by Usman on two occasions.
This is not the first time that Covington has accused the Nigerian of cheating. Throughout the entire process of both fights, the fighter accused his opponent of using anabolic steroids and pretending to receive illegal blows, especially in the first fight.

Despite the apparent animosity, it is worth noting that shortly after the end of the second fight, the American apologized to his rival while still inside the octagon and admitted that he had taken his actions with the aim of attracting media attention.
