Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington will likely be receiving the next shot at the title.

Kamaru Usman captured the 170-pound throne by defeating Tyron Woodley at UFC 235 in March. Covington was cageside for the bout, and UFC President Dana White has said “Chaos” will be Usman’s first challenger. A fight date has not been set as of this writing.

Recently, Usman’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, spoke to MMA Junkie about the match-up against Covington. Abdelaziz noted that, if fans were impressed with Usman’s dominant showing against Woodley, they’re going to be even more impressed by what he does to Covington:

“Wait ’til you see what he’s going to do to Colby,” Abdelaziz said. “You think (the win over Woodley was) impressive? I think it’s going to be so much more impressive when he’s going to beat Colby.

“It’s going to be so much worse for Colby because stylistically, he’s the worst matchup for Colby. And he’s smart to avoid him for a long time. You think he knows what Usman is going to do to him? I can’t wait, but it’s all good.”

The trio of Abdelaziz, Usman, and Covington were involved in an altercation at a Las Vegas casino buffet line the day after UFC 235. A scuffle nearly broke out, which Abdelaziz himself played a role in. There is certainly no love lost between Covington and the duo of Abdelaziz and Usman.

So much so that Abdelaziz said Usman is going to make Covington suffer inside the Octagon, and “drink his own blood”:

“Suffer,” Abdelaziz said. “Drink his own blood, swallow his own tongue, dig his own grave. That’s what’s going to happen.”

Everyone seems to want to get their hands on former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington. “Platinum” Mike Perry is no different.

Following a big win over Alex Oliveira this past weekend at UFC Ft. Lauderdale, Perry joined today’s (Mon. April 29, 2019) “Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.” During the appearance, Perry was asked about a possible match-up with “Chaos.” Perry had some harsh words for Covington, who he said he’d “skull f*ck” inside the Octagon (via MMA News):

“Yeah f*ck him, he can suck my d*ck. F*ck that b*tch. I’ll f*ck him in his f*cking skull. Screw that motherf*cker. I don’t give a f*ck about him or his life. I will rip his head from his neck, I keep saying this, what’s he gonna do?

“Lean on me, lean on me, lean on me. You can’t lean on me hard enough. You ain’t no truck and I will hit you if you’re that close to me trying to lean on me. And I will poke you in the eye. The ref better be watching and I don’t care. I sure don’t.”

It’s expected that Covington will be the first man to challenge Kamaru Usman for his newly-acquired welterweight throne. As for Perry, he’ll have to string together a few more big wins before getting near the title conversation. Perry has become one of the bigger fan favorites in the sport in recent months.

Should he and Covington ever find themselves matched up against one another, the build-up would be nothing short of exciting.
