The former UFC interim Welterweight champion, Colby Covington finally gets a date for his rematch against the Welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman. The duo is booked to face each other at the main event of UFC 268 and ‘Chaos’ once again put some serious accusations on Usman for using PED’s.

Covington has claimed many times that Kamaru Usman uses erythropoietin, commonly known as EPO and in his recent interview with Submission Radio, Colby Covington doubled down his claim.

‘Chaos’ says, “He’s been doing EPO his whole career, It’s so obvious. His chemical imbalance, his body – he’s got the pimples all over his back, all over his face. You’re a 35-year-old man. You’re not going through puberty like you’re in your teens anymore. You should not be having that chemical imbalance and that breakout.”

“That’s from his testosterone being out of whack, and his estrogen and his testosterone levels being out of whack. So he is the CEO of EPO. I’ve heard firsthand from some people that he trained with, some people that I might’ve went to wrestle in college with that said the same thing.”

Colby Covington added, “They could verify that he has done EPO and he’s injected in his ass. So he’s the CEO of EPO. He’s ‘Marty Juiceman.’” The former UFC two-time Bantamweight champion, TJ Dillashaw faced a two-year suspension after being getting caught for using EPO.

Although, Usman never failed any drug test in his entire MMA career but Covington claims he managed to find ways to overcome it. He added, “I know he’s going to be doing it, there’s ways to get around the tests. They’re not blood testing. They’re doing a piss test here and there. They’re not going to blood test him.”

“They’re going to let him get away with it. But you’ve got to live with that the rest of your life. You’ve got to live with that on your conscience, that you had to cheat your whole way through your career.”

Covington continued, “I know I’m all-natural American. I work the hard way – you know, blue collar. (I) earned it – blood sweat and tears. This is earned to the very core, to the very root naturally.” {h/t MMA Junkie}

The first match between Covington and Usman witnessed many events that lead Usman to ultimately winning the fight in the end, even after Covington being ahead of two judges’ scorecards after the end of four rounds.

But this time around Colby Covington issues a warning to Kamaru Usman, that nothing can save him from losing the title. ‘Chaos’ says, “I didn’t cheat. I didn’t cut corners. I took the long way to get here. So he has to live with that. He’s going to have problems later in life. His organs, all that stuff’s going to shut down.”

“He’s taking years off his life. But that’s the choice that he has to live with. And if that’s what he wants to do, that’s what he’s going to do. But you cannot stop destiny, and this is destiny. Nov. 6 is destiny.”

Covington concluded, “Colby /Chaos/ Covington will be the UFC welterweight champion of the world, and there’s not a steroid in the world that can stop it.” {h/t MMA Junkie}
