Welterweight champion Usman thrives on big fights, tough competition. MORE:
The men’s pound-for-pound ranking in the UFC is a who’s who of the sport, filled with champions, interim champions and some of the most feared and exciting fighters in all of mixed martial arts.
“The only difference is if he’s prepared to go to that place with me, that will be the only difference,” Usman told TSN. “I think over time in this sport you get two guys no matter what the training is, no matter what’s going on, they just want to fight each other and I think that’s what this fight symbolizes. I think, yeah if he did his homework, it’s going to be a spectacular fight, if he didn’t, it’s going to be a short night.
Although Usman does believe that Covington is a quality fighter in the cage, he just doesn’t think much of the things his two-time challenger has done outside of the Octagon.
