How will Colby Covington fare against Kamaru Usman in a rematch?

Colby Covington gave Kamaru Usman arguably his toughest test to date in the UFC. The former interim welterweight champion faced ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ when the two men blow for blow over five rounds at UFC 245 in December 2019. Since then, a lot has changed for the two men involved in the main event. 

‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has stayed extremely active since his fight against Covington. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has fought three times since his win over Colby Covington. ‘Chaos’ on the other hand has competed just once.
