Colby Covington: Kamaru Usman would prefer ‘alien invasion’ than title rematch

Colby Covington says Kamaru Usman would prefer aliens to invade earth than put his welterweight title up for grabs again in a title rematch.

Covington has apparently already signed his name on the dotted line but says Usman, the defending champion, is avoiding him at all costs and is desperately looking for a way out of the fight.

“They’re just waiting on Marty,” Covington said on a recent episode of What the Heck. “Ever since he beat that fragile dude, ‘Street Judas’ [Jorge] Masvidal, he’s been running. But he just found out there’s nowhere left to hide.
