Much respect to him and the whole ATT team

Covington suffered his first defeat since Dec. 2015. “Chaos” was riding a seven-fight winning streak and even captured the interim UFC welterweight title along the way. It’s also the first TKO loss on Covington’s record.
As for Usman, he extends his winning streak to 15. “The Nigerian Nightmare” has lived up to his nickname as he hasn’t suffered a loss since May 2013. That was just his second bout as a professional mixed martial artist.
