Kamaru Usman is a FAN of Colby Covington and Leon Edwards?!

Kamaru Usman has fought (and beaten) both Colby Covington and Leon Edwards - and thinks both fighters are underrated.

Usman lost his title to Edwards at UFC 278 to a last minute head kick - and subsequently dropped the rematch via unanimous decision at UFC 286. Usman had beaten Edwards in their first encounter back in 2015.

Usman also had a famously heated rivalry with Colby Covington - finishing the brash welterweight at UFC 245 and beating him via unanimous decision in the rematch at 268.

It appears there's no bad blood on Usman's end - surprisingly, Kamaru says he's a fan of both fighters. And thinks they're underrated!

Agree or disagree?

He's becoming more likeable lately, i think this is the real him

[Breg]

Humble usman is really likeable and growing on me lately. Hopefully he doesn't retire soon and can go for one more title run.

[CarlosRen]

Dudes speaking like he’s running for president 😂

[Tbeeks]

Damn he’s fought both of them at least twice too

[billhicks]

Usman is pulling for Colby because he can't get a title shot against Leon again without going on a win streak. Colby vs Usman is the ufc version of Rock vs Austin

[ForrestPump]

Kamaru Usman is really not the type of guy to talk trash about a fighter if they're not in front of him. Always said says things about everyone.

😂 I wonder what izzy has to say about his hat

[metrodetroitbaseballclub]

Kamaru is a true champion and role model.

[acewilums]

Man who is this guy talking this is not usman he must be his humble clone

[jond]

He always called it yhe way he sees it. Don't think behind closed doors that Colby doesn't give the same respect to fighters. Behind Colby's character he is very honest about certain fighters skills. Now i know for a fact he does think Masvidal is not that good a fighter, he said he has huge heart, but his skill set isn't top 8 in his division. Usman understands being honest with himself is very important in this business, if your not you won't get as far as he did

[dtruth]

USMAN WAS A GREAT CHAMP..HE DUCKED NO ONE.

[paulsmith]

What's with the hat him and John Jones 👎

[dogman]

Colby will outwork leon didnt work against usman because of the wrestling

[BigWrangler]

Wtf is that hat? I aint hear a word he said.
