Morning Report: Colby Covington details what happened in Las Vegas scuffle with Kamaru Usman

At UFC 235, Kamaru Usman dominated Tyron Woodley to become the new UFC welterweight champion. In the post-fight press conference, Usman was already making plans for his first title defense, saying he was going to enjoy “brutalizing”’ former interim champion Colby Covington. So excited was he about the prospect of fighting Covington, that the next morning he and his manager, Ali Abdelaziz, created a public disturbance when they ran into him at the buffet in the Palms Casino. In the video, you can see the confrontation go on for an extended period of time and even see Abdelaziz throw a punch at Covington, who is surrounded by innocent bystanders.
