Covington will be sitting cageside in the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena, which will host a trio of championship fights. In a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Covington said he plans to engage in a face-off with the fighter who comes out on top in the UFC UFC 261 event if Dana White allows him to.
Colby Covington has already come to blows with the current welterweight champion, Usman, but he has never shared the octagon with former teammate, Jorge Masvidal.
Covington and Usman headlined UFC 245 in December 2019, where ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ defeated ‘Chaos’ in the final round of the fight.

In the same interview, Colby Covington expressed his desire to fight Kamaru Usman in a rematch. The No.1 welterweight contender thinks he was ahead of Usman in the scorecards when they locked horns at UFC 245. However, if the two were to fight once again, Usman would rather avoid the rematch by calling time on his career, according to Colby Covington.
