Kamaru Usman wants to beat Colby Covington’s ***.

Kamaru Usman would take pleasure in beating Colby Covington’s *** – would love to ‘put his hand through’ Covington’s face.
The 31-year-old Usman is currently ranked as the #6 welterweight in the UFC. The “Nigerian Nightmare” has positioned himself among the divisions elite. A showdown with champion Tyron Woodley seems destine. Or perhaps Usman must deal with recently defeated title challenger Darren Till. Let’s not forget the grudge match with Covington still looms.
Usman actually has a great deal of respect for both Woodley and Till. However, when it comes to Covington the “Nigerian Nightmare” would take extra pleasure in putting his fist through Covington’s face.
“That’s more than business,” Kamaru Usman told the media ahead of last Saturday’s UFC 228 card (courtesy of BJPenn.com). “That’s good business — after I personally beat his ***. That one’s a little added bonus. There’s not one guy in the UFC that I can say that I have negative feelings towards, except Colby Covington. I truly want to put my hands through his face. That’s a guy that… the world would be watching as well. There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t get a message, whether it’s Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter saying ‘man I can’t wait for you to kill Colby Covington.’”
Usman boasts an impressive 13-1 record. He is a perfect 10-0 inside the octagon and he hasn’t lost a fight since 2013. He most recently defeated former welterweight and middleweight title challenger Demian Maia back in May of this year.

Usman is ready to jump in.
The post Kamaru Usman Staying Ready To Serve As Replacement For UFC 228 Main Event appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.
Kamaru Usman staying ready to jump in to replace one of the fighters who is fighting in the headliner of the UFC 228 pay-per-view event.
As seen in the main event of UFC Chile on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at Movistar Arena in Santiago, Chile on FOX Sports 1, Usman was able to defeat former title contender Demian Maia by unanimous decision. After the fight, Usman went on record by stating that he believes he deserves a title shot as a result of the biggest win thus far in his pro-MMA career.
Although he didn’t get a title shot, he did make a deal with the UFC where he would cut weight and train for the UFC 228 event. The reason for that is due to him being able to replace either UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley or challenger Darrel Till if one of these fighters couldn’t compete.
Woodley and Till made weight on Friday but anything can happen before the two fighters step foot inside of the Octagon. Thus, Usman is still keeping himself ready if anything happens.
“It’s definitely a weird position, especially at this stage of my career,” Usman told MMA Fighting. “But I attest my strength to deal with it with the training I’ve had, going through years and years of wrestling. Especially collegiately. You’re in a big tournament, you don’t know who you’ll get next.”
“It’s whoever gets through that guy that you get next. I like to think that I’ve had a lot of training for moments like this.”
He weighed in at 169 lbs at the official weigh-ins, which means that he is eligible to compete as a replacement fighter.
“At the end of the day, I’m a professional. I’ve been doing this **** for a long, long time. I don’t take this for granted,” he continued. “When I decided that I wanted to be a professional athlete…one thing about me is that my parents didn’t force me to be an athlete. My parents didn’t want me to do this. My dad, when I told him I wanted to wrestle, he told me no, if you’re going to play any sports play baseball.”
“You get paid a lot and there’s not that much contact. But for some reason I chose to do this. I chose to embark on this journey.”
The UFC 228 pay-per-view event is set to take place on Saturday, September 8, 2018 in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center. The main card will air on pay-per-view at 10 p.m. ET. The preliminary card will air on FX at 8 p.m. ET and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass, 6 p.m. ET.
