Colby Covington is without a doubt a remarkably tough, talented fighter. NOBODY is saying that lunatic isn’t tough. What I am saying is that in my humble opinion, at this time, in this sport, Kamaru Usman is the best. He has always been exceptional, but he has evolved into a fighter that is undeniable. Tonight he will fight Covington. I have no doubt that the fight will be intense, but I can’t see a scenario where Usman doesn’t finish him.

I’m not the only person saying this, but I believe Usman will go down as one of the all time greats and I expect that Covington will just be another great fighter that Usman has beaten (twice).

I made this photo of Kamaru Usman in South Florida five years ago at the Blackzillians’ Trainging Center. He fights in the UFC as a welterweight and is currently the pound for pound best MMA fighter in the world.
