Colby Covington Says UFC Is Protecting Top Contenders From Kamaru Usman

Covington said the UFC is hesitant to book Usman against Carlos Prates-Michael Morales, arguing they’re: “one dimensional strikers...Usman would be a tough matchup for those guys...That’s probably why the UFC is kind of avoiding giving him those fights.” Meanwhile, Usman is being floated for a title shot, with Islam Makhachev and his team showing interest for Makhachev’s first welterweight defense.
