The tension between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington reached boiling point at the UFC 268 press conference. The pair have made no secret of their intense dislike for one another, and the insults got very personal very quickly.
Things started poorly when Colby Covington brought up Kamaru Usman’s father, who was in prison for a fraud-related crime the Usman family claims he did not commit.
Usman and Covington Get PERSONAL at UFC 268 Press Conference
“Hey ‘Marty,’ is your daddy the jail bird coming on Saturday night? I got a hookup with law enforcement if you want me to call his parole officer, I’ll make sure he can come on Saturday night.”
You want me to make sure? I feel so bad for Mrs. Usman. She’s got a cheating-ass son and a scammer-ass husband. That must be sh*tty in that household.”
Usman fired back straight away. “Could you please make that phone call? Please, I need him here to watch you get your face broken this time.”
Colby, resplendent in a multicolored suit adorned with the words “greetings nerds and virgins”, has long denied that Usman broke his jaw. His lengthy layoff after UFC 245, which Usman won via fifth-round TKO, must have been unrelated.
Usman had an answer for Colby’s accusations of cheating, too. “Listen, if he’s saying that I was faking this or faking that to get out of the fight, but I didn’t. I stayed in the fight and I broke your f*cking jaw.”
Colby went on to accuse Usman of PED abuse, referencing the champ’s acne. “We saw the photos yesterday, what’s all those injection marks around your stomach, bro?
Those look bad. I saw you with Gaethje, you looked like sh*t. You can’t cover the chemical imbalance in your body, bro. You’ve got acne and craters all over your face and back.” Usman quickly hit back with a mildly homophobic retort.
“This is another grown man up here talking about another grown man’s body. Colby, is there something you want to tell us? You want to come out of the closet?”
Eventually, despite Colby Covington’s stubbornly maintained heel persona, it was Usman who had the harshest commentary of the day.
“I love what I bring to the table. He pushed me last time. I expect that from him this time. But as a person, he’s a rotten piece of sh*t, and I can’t believe his father let him put this persona on.
He won’t spank you, don’t worry, Saturday night, I’ll do it for him.” Which way do you see this fight going? Let us know in the comments.
