Paddy Pimblett gives his prediction for Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington's rematch at UFC 268

Paddy Pimblett has revealed who he sees coming out on top in the upcoming welterweight rematch between Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington at UFC 268.

Kamaru Usman has already defended his welterweight title against Covington once before. He TKOed 'Chaos' in the fifth round at UFC 245. Covington has continuously protested the stoppage, claiming referee Marc Goddard was biased against him due to his political views.

Speaking with MMA journalist James Lynch, UFC lightweight Paddy Pimblett revealed that he would not be picking against Kamaru Usman anytime soon on account of the champion's dominance as of late.

"I cannot pick against Kamaru Usman. Simple as. That man at 170 pounds, recently, has just looked like the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world."
