And it doesn’t bother him one bit if that means Colby Covington ’s planned title shot vanishes. Usman (14-1 MMA, 9-0 UFC) said he spoke briefly with UFC President Dana White following The Ultimate Fighter 28 Finale headliner at Pearl Theater, and while “The Nigerian Nightmare” said he wasn’t given any promises, he was excited at the possibilities.
