Jorge Masvidal has no doubt that UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman can put Colby Covington away one more time. Having trained with Covington for years and competed against Usman twice, Masvidal (35-15 MMA, 12-8 UFC) is familiar with both men. Masvidal lost a decision to Usman in their first outing last July and was knocked out in the rematch this past Saturday at UFC 261, a result that took many by surprise. UFC president Dana White confirmed the plan is to set up a rematch between Usman and Covington , where “The Nigerian Nightmare” will look to make it 2-0 against his rival. After a tightly contested slugfest on the feet, Usman was scored a fifth-round finish of Covington , who protested the stoppage, back in December 2019. After feeling his power, Masvidal thinks Usman (19-1 MMA, 14-0 UFC) will ride a ton of momentum hunting for another finish against Covington (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC).
