"I'd like to see Usman in Real American Freestyle. We need to settle the trilogy in RAF. If Usman doesn't get the title fight, come see daddy at Real American Freestyle and let's do this trilogy, bitch... I think he would take the challenge - he's a competitor, he likes to compete. He still has that fire and drive; he wants these title fights, he wants these big matchups. It's a huge matchup, there's a huge market for RAF right now."
"The first fight was a scam, I kicked him in the liver, it was called a nut shot and then it was an early stoppage. I clearly stood up and protested right away. The second fight - a lot of people had me winning that fight 3-2 at Madison Square Garden. So let's settle this in RAF."
Colby Covington has called out Kamaru Usman for a wrestling match at Real American Freestyle, proposing a trilogy to settle their unfinished business. Covington disputes both of his UFC losses to Usman, claiming the first was an early stoppage following a liver kick mistakenly called as a low blow, and the second was a decision robbery at Madison Square Garden. Covington believes Usman would accept the challenge as a competitor seeking big matchups. Covington recently defeated Luke Rockhold in a wrestling match at RAF 5 in January. Usman is currently pursuing a UFC welterweight title shot after rebounding from a three-fight losing streak with a decision victory over Joaquin Buckley in June 2025.
