However, Usman’s power, speed and skill was simply too much for Covington to overcome as he challenged for the belt.
As expected, Usman ended the event with another huge win.
“I am the pound-for-pound best alive right now.”

Well, if you listened to me going into the fight, you knew that was a bad idea. I was riding with Thug Rose the whole way, and she didn’t disappoint as she earned her second straight win over Weili.
