Usman breaks his arm before rematch with Covington

UFC Welterweight Champion Kamaru Usman reported that he broke his right arm on the eve of the fight with Colby Covington.

“I broke my arm before the fight with Colby. Three weeks before the fight. And all these three weeks I did not hit with my right hand. He started hitting only in the locker room before the fight itself. And he broke his arm on Justin Gajee's head. In sparring. He and I are the main sparring partners and big and little brother,” Usman said on the Full Send Podcast.

The rematch of Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington took place on November 7 in New York as part of the main bout of the 268th UFC tournament, ending with a unanimous decision for Usman.
