Usman said, “I mean, I want to see activity and he’s not showing activity. That’s a problem. The champion can be the most active guy in the division because like I said, I’ve lapped everybody and I’m coming back around and you just can’t sit there and say, ‘Oh well, pick me, pick me, pick me.

“Show me activity, give me something, give me a reason. It’s not necessarily me, I know what I’m capable of doing, I’ve done it before. You can ask his jaw; I’ve done that before.”

Now Covington has taken it to social media to fire back at Usman he wrote, “I’m ranked #1 in the world and added a 3rd UFC champion as a victim to my resume in my last fight.”

“You’re beating lightweights and calling out a journeyman with 15 L’s for a rematch after he hasn’t fought in a year since you beat him 50-42. “Show Me AcTiViTy!” You’re a b**ch Marty. Show the world some balls. Fight me.”
