Kamaru Usman Responds To Colby Covington Ripping NBA Players

Due to the protest of Jacob Blake’s death in Wisconsin earlier this month, professional athletes from the NBA and MLB have since gone on strike and are unwilling to budge. They want justice, and there have already been so many issues this year with this kind of thing.

It started out by the Milwaukee Bucks refusing to play their playoff game against Orlando Magic on Wednesday night, which has led to every NBA game being postponed. Now there are also baseball games being postponed due to the protest.

Former interim UFC Welterweight Champion Colby ‘Chaos’ Covington had some choice words for these athletes, or ‘snowflakes’ as he’d call them:

“Oh wow, you postponed your games?! Wanna prove you’re really about change? Quit your multi million dollar jobs and soft privileged lives playing a kids game, take a massive pay cut and perform the toughest job in America. Become cops!!!!”

UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman then interjected with a statement of his own:

“I really wish someone would just break your jaw already…”

If Covington wins his next fight against Tyron Woodley and Usman wins his next fight with Gilbert Burns, we may get to see these two go at it again. What a treat that would be, everyone wants to see this fight again. They’re the two best welterweights in the sport, and their first fight was insane.

It’s so unfortunate that we finally got sports back, and now this happens. At least us MMA fans didn’t have to wait more than two months without fights, but all of these sports started their seasons late. The chaos needs to end, we should all be working together in order for it to.

‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ also uploaded this video yesterday regarding what’s been going on, sharing his thoughts on the matter.

Dana White Open To Having CM Punk Fight Again In The UFC

Former WWE star CM Punk was completely dismantled in his UFC debut against the now 3-0 Mickey Gall.

Former WWE star CM Punk was completely dismantled in his UFC debut against the now 3-0 Mickey Gall. After the fight, UFC president Dana White said that if Punk plans to fight again, which he does, he should probably fight elsewhere.

After his lackluster performance at UFC 203, Punk said that he’s very aware that he may be cut, and that if he does get cut, he’ll probably end up fighting somewhere else. As of this writing, the UFC hasn’t decided to cut the ex-WWE champ, and on a recent episode of the UFC Unfiltered podcast, Dana White said that the organization won’t be cutting Punk any time soon.

On the podcast, White said that he told Punk to go home and be normal for a while following his loss to Mickey Gall. He also told Punk that, when the time is right, they’ll get on the phone with each other to discuss what’s next.

“So what I told him to do is go home, spend some time with your wife, be normal for a little while, and we’ll get on the phone and talk. Obviously we haven’t talked yet, but we will, we’ll see what’s next.”

So, what could be next for CM Punk? Well, if he stays in the UFC, there’s only one guy out there that he could face, and have a shot at beating, and that’s Mike Jackson.

Like Punk, Jackson was also defeated by Mickey Gall via submission in the very first round. That’s not the only thing they have in common though, as both of them have a professional MMA record of 0-1.

If you watched UFC 203, then you know that it’s quite clear that Punk was in over his head when he stepped inside the Octagon with Mickey Gall, but he probably wouldn’t be in over his head if he fought Mike Jackson, because the two men are at the same level in terms of skill.

Mike Jackson is obviously a savvy guy, because he called out CM Punk on a recent edition of MMA Junkie Radio, saying that it would make sense for him to be Punk’s next UFC opponent. Will he get the fight? Well, if Punk stays in the UFC, the answer to that question is yes. But, if Punk is cut from the organization, he may end up going to Bellator, where they may put him in the cage with someone else.

Whoever ends up getting Punk will get a proven pay-per-view draw, as the former WWE star helped add an additional 150,000 buys to UFC 203.

Even though Punk is now a proven pay-per-view draw, some have speculated that the UFC, if they allow him to fight again in their organization, will put his next fight, presumably against Mike Jackson, on one of their big Fox shows.
