Usman ranks Covington as a top 20 active UFC fighter and calls him a rotten man

Alexandr Ormanji | Published Aug. 31, 2021, 2:22 a.m.

Kamaru Usman, UFC welterweight champion, shared his opinion on Colby Covington.

"Without a doubt, Colby Covington is a more balanced and stronger fighter than Masvidal. I believe he is one of the top 20 current UFC fighters in the P4P rankings. I even concede that he may be in the top 25 best fighters in UFC history in general. As a person, he's rotten. That's my opinion," Usman said.

Usman and Covington will rematch on Nov. 6 at UFC 268.
