Colby Covington has finally ended his silence and reacted to his title fight loss against Kamaru Usman at UFC 245. The outspoken American was suspected to have broken his jaw during the fight and it has been the subject of much discussion ever since. However, ‘Chaos’ has now put an end to that rumour by confirming his jaw is fine, whilst speaking with Ariel Helwani, he said.
“No, I didn’t break my jaw in my fight. Does my jaw look broken? I’ve been smiling, I’ve been with all my mamacitas you know.”
The welterweight contender was unhappy to hear the audio from his corner was beamed out to millions. The private disclosure of a possible injury became public knowledge, fuelled speculation during the fight and as a result reinvigorated Usman who had heard news of his suspected injury.
“Is that legal that they can get my corner audio in between rounds? Whether my jaw is broken, or it isn’t broken, to get that information in a world championship fight when there’s two rounds left to go. That’s huge information.”
“I don’t care if you’re down and you’re completely ready to quit. That’s going to get you right up like, ‘I’ve got this guy on the ropes now.’ That’s f*cking corrupt in itself.” (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)
The good news is Covington could be back
sooner than we thought. Without injury he should be able to get back in the
170lb mix before this summer. A fight with Michael Chiesa could well be on the
cards. The former 155lb fighter called out Covington after beating Rafael Dos
Anjos at UFC Raleigh late last month. ‘Chaos’ is yet to respond, but it does
appear the perfect fight and a win in this one would put either man into title
contention.

Colby Covington thinks the recent Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal altercation was planned from the start.
Usman and Masvidal confronted each other last week during Super Bowl Media Day in Miami. The pair were separated as they traded heated insults at each other. UFC welterweight contender Leon Edwards notably thought it was planned given how there were cameras during the scene.
Covington seems to agree as he believes they were just trying to manufacture some drama between each other:
“Oh man, that was a funny scene,” Covington said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on Monday. “Everybody knew that was set up from the start. They got the cameras out, ‘oh, let’s make this look like a real drama.’ That ain’t real drama. man. That’s you guys trying to sell something that’s not even there.
“You got street Judas on one hand, that guy’s pathetic man. He’s got a mediocre, average record. He’s the broken mediocre fighter champion. No one cares about him. He’s so fake and he’s a bottom-tier fighter. He’s not going to be ready to fight in a world championship level. And Marty Fakenewsman, he’s just trying to do something. He’s got no way to sell a fight. He’s got no friends obviously because no one’s even watching his back so you can tell how likeable he is.”
Many believe an Usman vs. Masvidal matchup is what will happen next when it comes to the welterweight title. However, Covington doesn’t believe Masvidal wants that fight as he will likely target an easier and more lucrative matchup with Conor McGregor for example.
That would ultimately set up the rematch between Covington and Usman:
“… But let’s be honest. Do you really think that street Judas also known as journeyman Jorge Masvidal is really going to fight Marty Fakenewsman?” Covington added. “Or is he going to look and wait for that Conor fight or wait for a Nate Diaz fight — an easier fight where he has a realistic chance to win because he’s not beating anybody in the top of the division like myself and Marty Fakenewsman.
“So I don’t see him taking that fight anytime soon and that’s going to set up the rematch with me and Marty Fakenewsman.”

Colby Covington continues to blame referee Marc Goddard for calling his fight with Kamaru Usman early.
Covington and Usman battled in a back-and-forth war in their welterweight title fight at UFC 245 in December. However, it was Usman who was able to get the victory after dropping Covington twice in the fifth round.
With Usman landing strikes on a downed Covington, Goddard saw enough as he called an end to the action. Many felt it was a slightly premature stoppage, including “Chaos” who unloaded on Goddard after the fight.
Covington also believes Goddard gave Usman an unfair advantage by giving him time to recover from fake illegal shots earlier on in the fight. He expanded more in a recent appearance on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on Monday:
“Let’s talk about the 5th round. I’m beating his a** again,” Covington said. “I’ve won the whole entire fight, the fight’s mine. They’re about to wrap the welterweight championship around my waist. Then all of a sudden, I slip on a banana peel and I’m getting hit in the back of the head. Marc Goddard is seeing this right in front of his face. Go look at the video in the fifth round.
“I’m completely coherent and I cover up the back of my head. And when I cover the back of my head, he calls the fight. I stand right up and protest, ‘what are you doing? Why are you calling the fight? I’m winning the whole entire fight. There’s less than a minute left in the fight.’ You see a foul right in front of your face and you call it. Then when you don’t see a foul in front of your face, you give him time and you throw him a life raft in the river when he’s drowning.
“That’s why he’s named Marc not so Goodard and he shouldn’t be a ref ever again. I feel bad for all the people who ever had to deal with him as a ref. Look at the next week — Frankie Edgar had to die in a fight just because Marc Goddard was trying to do a makeup call because he f*cked it up and did such a bad job in the fight between me and Marty Fakenewsman.”
His feelings towards Goddard aside, Covington feels it’s only right for the UFC to book a rematch between him and Usman. If that doesn’t happen, he believes it’s a corrupt business:
“They need to run this back,” he added.”There’s 10 more rounds in this, Ariel. Everybody knows that — there’s going to be a sequel and there’s going to be a trilogy to this. Marty Fakenewsman is the only one in the world who doesn’t want this fight.
“The people want this fight. I am the people’s champ for a reason and I fight for the people. But Marc not so Goodard robbed the people of a fair fight. He robbed the fight of a fight down the middle. This needs to be ran back and if it’s not run back, it’s a very corrupt business and it’s a fix.”
