Colby Covington says Kamaru Usman is ‘starting to show signs of CTE’

Colby Covington has a vetted interest in UFC 235’s co-main event and he is confident Tyron Woodley will wipe the floor with Kamaru Usman.

Covington — or has he likes to be called, “America’s champ” — took “America’s Pick of the Week” north of the border when speaking to Canada’s TSN Radio.

“I see Woodley starching Usman,” Covington said. “I think Usman’s inexperience, he hasn’t really fought a good wrestler that can strike too. He doesn’t really have a good strategy. He tries to go forward and pressure a fighter but he doesn’t really have gas like that.
