UFC welterweight No.1 title contender Colby Covington says he is confident of beating champion Kamaru Usman in their rematch at UFC 268 at the Madison Square Garden on November 7.
There have been bad blood between both welterweight superstars before and after Usman defeated the American in their first meeting in 2019 via knock-out (punches) for his first title defence.
Covington has maintained that the fight was called too early for the ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ also rubbishing reports that his jaw was broken in the fight.
The ‘Chaos’ as he is popularly called says he is confident his hands will be raised in their rematch after he would have beaten the Nigerian to stupor.
He also stated that the fight will serve as revenge for his loss in 2019.
“I think the fans will be in for a treat and I think it’s going to be the biggest fight in the history of the UFC. I am hungrier than ever, I wake up every morning with revenge on my mind and I’m going to serve him the revenge cold next week.
“I’m confident that next weekend, I’m going to get my hands raised and I’m sure there’s no man alive that can stop me.
