In the first fight, Usman won the fight via fifth-round TKO. This time around, the fight was closer, but it was still Usman who ended up winning via unanimous decision on the judges&#8217; scorecards. But if you ask Covington, he should have been named as the fight&#8217;s winner.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zrMkuLhW0Dc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Submission Radio<\/a>, Covington reaffirmed his belief that he should have won the decision in the rematch with Usman, and now he is calling for the two to fight in a trilogy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI clearly won that fight three to two. The third, fourth, and fifth round were my rounds \u2013 and even if you were looking on a different side of the scope, I think you could see me winning the first round too. It was very close and competitive. After ten rounds, the people see what happened. We fought two times. At the ten rounds, at the worst, I\u2019m winning six rounds to four,&#8221; Covington said (via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2021\/11\/ufc-news-colby-covington-thinks-he-clearly-beat-kamaru-usman-three-rounds-to-two-at-ufc-268-eyes-trilogy-bout\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAjunkie.com<\/a>). &#8220;So, I think there needs to be another fight, there\u2019s needs to be a trilogy if he stays around, if he wants to stick around. After fighting me two times I think he realizes how serious I am and how bad I want that belt. So, I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s willing in that octagon like I am, and I\u2019m gonna get my shot back at him \u2013 if he doesn\u2019t retire first. He might retire and just go ride off into the sunset. But if not, I\u2019m looking for that Marty trilogy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you think <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/urijah-faber-says-colby-covington-is-actually-not-a-bad-guy-hes-trying-to-get-himself-noticed\/\">Colby Covington<\/a> beat Kamaru Usman at UFC 268 and do you want to see a trilogy fight between them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colby Covington still believes he beat UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman at UFC 268, and he is calling for a trilogy match.
