Kamara Usman made history on Saturday when he defeated Tyron Woodley to win the welterweight championship in UFC 235. With the win, Usman became the first African-born champion in the history of the UFC. While it was a huge victory, it was quickly met with some controversy as Usman got into a scuffle with Colby Covington on his way out of the Octagon. Dana White has said that Usman's next fight will be against Covington and when Usman left the Octagon on Saturday night, Covington was in the crowd wearing a MAGA hat and a belt and the two ended up going after each other before security broke it up.
Just a day later, the two were at the Palm Casino Resort in Las Vegas and almost came to blows again. Both fighters spotted each other and came face to face with one another. In the video below, which comes courtesy of TMZ, you can see both men standing face to face when a punch is thrown from Ali Abdelaziz, who is a manager in the UFC.
There wasn't as much security around this time but luckily, some guards intervened and the incident didn't escalate any further. At this point though, it's obvious that we're going to get a great fight from these two.
