Colby Covington taunts newly crowned UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman following the biggest win his career.

Usman captured the title once he scored a dominate unanimous win over Tyron Woodley in the co-headliner of the UFC 235 pay-per-view event. This show went down on Saturday, March 2, 2019 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Following the fight, ESPN’s Brett Okamoto is reporting that Covington will get the first title shot against “Nigerian Nightmare.” This comes straight from UFC President Dana White. He tweeted out the following:

Covington earned the interim welterweight title after being able to score a decision win over former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos in the co-main event of the main card for UFC 225 pay-per-view event at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. However, after turning down a fight at the UFC 228 PPV event and some delays, Usman got the title opportunity instead.

Not only did Covington do an interview with ESPN MMA about being in attendance for this fight, but also tweeted out the following:

“Correction: UFC has already informed Colby Covington he will defend against newly crowned number 1 contender Marty Snoozeman. And that’s not news Brett. That’s how number 1 contenders work. #PeoplesChamp.”

In the co-main event of UFC 235 last night (Sat. March 2, 2019) Kamaru Usman dominated Tyron Woodley to capture the UFC welterweight title.

This marked the end of Woodley’s four-fight streak as champion. Usman dominated “The Chosen One” from the opening bell to the last. “The Nigerian Nightmare” imposed his will on Woodley both on the feet and on the ground. Woodley simply had no answer for anything the Nigerian-born champion was offering.

The result was certainly a shocking one, especially given how dominant Woodley’s reign as champion had been. Check out how the mixed martial arts (MMA) community reacted to the title change on Twitter below:
