ATLANTA – Kamaru Usman had to put together a long winning streak just to force his way into the UFC’s welterweight title picture, much less actually get a championship match. So now that he holds the gold, Usman has a message for would-be challenger Colby Covington : Slow your roll. “Now you have to beg me for that fight,” Usman said to the former interim welterweight champion. Covington made a spectacle of himself throughout March’s UFC 235 fight week leading up to Usman’s title win over Tyron Woodley, including a near-brawl at a buffet at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas after the bout.
