Morning Report: Colby Covington ramps up the trash talk against Kamaru Usman

Well, that didn’t take long.

After dominating Robbie Lawler on Saturday, Colby Covington reestablished himself as the number one contender for Kamaru Usman’s welterweight title. Afterwards, Usman was working the desk of the UFC post-show and Covington and Usman got into a verbal exchange that may have escalated had security not held Usman back. All of this, of course, is setting up a grudge match for the title somewhere down the line that figures to be among the ugliest build ups in UFC history.

But why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?
