Now Colby Covington is claiming that Kamaru Usman is fighting people he shouldn't and he's only knocking out lightweights.

“I had to go out and finish a former world champion in Woodley,” Colby Covington told ESPN. “He got too easy paychecks against lightweights that should have never been there. His last fight was against ‘Street Judas’ Masvidal. God, I was beating that guy decades ago. That’s not an achievement. You’re proud for beating that guy? That guy’s a lightweight. He shouldn’t even be up here at the top of the mountain….

“He’s knocking out lightweights, he’s knocking out guys that shouldn’t be in there with him. These are easy paychecks and there’s a reason he fought those guys, because he knew he was going to win. A former training partner of his, Dilbert, the guy should have never been in there. ‘Street Judas’ Masvidal? The only reason he’s in that position is because he’s got all the hype on him. No one cares to see that guy fight. He’s not a top-tier fighter. ‘Street Judas’ Masvidal is the most fragile guy on the UFC roster and he deserves no place fighting in a championship fight and we found that out.”

The fighters Colby Covington is referring to are Gilbert Burns and Jorge Masvidal who have all fought at lightweight in the past. There is no doubt they have shown they belong at the top of the welterweight division.
