Colby Covington plans on putting a beating on UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman when they eventually meet.

The two 170-pounders are set to face each other later this year though there are no updates on a potential date or location. However, Covington has been itching to fight the “Nigerian Nightmare” for a while now and plans on inflicting a lot of punishment:

“I’m seriously going to leave that dude f—king crippled. I’m going to f—k that dude up,” Covington told MMA Fighting. “It’s too bad he was running from me for so many years. Now he has no choice. It’s either you fight me or you don’t fight at all.

“You lose your No. 1 contender belt and we don’t hear from you anymore and the world figures out the coward that you really are. He’s got nowhere to go. It’s put up or shut up.”

Covington Was Begging For Usman Fight Years Ago

Covington even claims he was looking to fight Usman all the way back in 2015 — only to be turned down:

“I can’t wait to bury that guy,” Covington added. “Me and Dan Lambert were calling for that fight as soon as he won ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ and he beat my teammates at American Top Team.

We were begging for that fight and him and Glenn [Robinson] turned that fight down.”

One thing is for sure, though — that is the only fight to make next for either of them:

“It’s time to unify my belt with Marty Fakenewsman,” Covington explained. “This fight has so many angles. The Palms buffet line, look at Marty Fakenewsman, he was faking an injury when he fought [Tyron] Woodley. He’s in a wheelchair after the fight with Woodley, acting like he’s hurt getting wheelchaired to the press conference and eight hours later he’s jumping me in the Palms buffet line, jumping over barricades, pushing a pregnant late out of the way to get to me.

“It just shows how fake he is. He’s the CNN of the UFC.”

It’s no secret Jon Jones and Colby Covington have had issues with one another.

The pair have exchanged words through social media over the past several months. However, there was a time where the two UFC stars were actually cordial with one another. During their college days in Iowa Central Community College, Jones and Covington were roommates.

Recently, an old photo of the pair surfaced online showing Jones and Covington partying back in the day. Check it out here:

What a road its been for the former roommates. Now, Jones is widely regarded as the best mixed martial artist of all time, currently reigning as the light heavyweight champion of the world. As for Covington, he’s a former interim UFC welterweight champion who is on the heels of a 170-pound title opportunity against Kamaru Usman later this year.

Given the banter between Covington and Jones, it would be interesting to see if “Chaos” ever considers jumping up to 205 pounds to challenge Jones. Of course, Covington still has a lot of work to do at welterweight; with fights against the likes of Usman, Tyron Woodly, Ben Askren, and more still on the table.

What do you think about the throwback photo of Jones and Covington?
