Leon Edwards, Jorge Masvidal, Tyron Woodley, and Kamaru Usman - Colby Covington has had his fair share of grudge matches since turning heel in the UFC.
Covington is back in action this weekend when he takes on Joaquin Buckley in the main event of UFC Tampa.

Had to go the long way."This isn't the first time that Covington's called Usman a cheater, claiming his rival has taken performance-enhancing drugs in the past and grabbed his gloves as well as punched him to the back of the head in their title rematch at UFC 268.
