[Arkridge]

On Ariel Helwani's show, Kamaru Usman says he's signed a contract to fight Colby Covington on November 30th and Covington hasn't yet signed the contract.

Spoiler: He won't.

The event scheduled for November 30th is The TUF 28 Finale.

[Jackonfire]

Yeah, I don't see Colby taking that fight. He's ducked it this long, no reason to stop now, lol.

 

[MMA Gongshow]

They really going to have this big of a fight in a tiny venue like the Pearl at the Palms?

 

[Arkridge]

why not?

spoil us please.

He's been ducking Usman for the better part of 2 years now.

 

[LLD2008]

Colby goes from fighting the champ to Usman, what a fail, why make him interim champ in the first place?

Colby Huggington VS Kamaru Snoozeman

 

[arrelione]

Colby ain't gonna take the fight.

 

[Death By Samson]

Covington wants no part of Usman and never has. The ducking will continue.

 

[Workaholic]

If he's telling the truth, and I'm not sure he is I expect Colby to duck the absolute shit out of that fight

 

[TheWobbler]

Why would colby take this when he is next for the title shot.

Colby has been very quiet lately.

 

[ANIM4L]

LOL Colby talked himself into his the worse fight for him right now.

 

[Njmma209]

Kamaru Usman also said he was only at 30% because he was embarrassed he had to Lay and Pray on a fringe top 50 welterweight.

Colby from a potential title shot to TUF finale

 

[VIP1349]

Not sure why Colby would even take it. He is apparently hurt. May as well wait a month or two for Till and Woodley to scrap. Really isn't a Welterweight that will jump him rankings wise.

 

[SpedDaddyV]

White added that Covington may not have the interim belt any longer after UFC 228 is finished but he will still remain the No. 1 contender in the welterweight division to face the winner of Woodley vs. Till.

“He won the title and he’s still the guy,” White said about Covington. “When he’s ready, he’ll get the next fight.”

Not a fight I really care to see.

2 wrestling heavy blankets.

I don't doubt that, but your interim title holder against a big time prospect and you're going to put in a place that holds less than 2500 people?
