The rematch will take place at UFC 268 in November, and Covington, the number one ranked welterweight contender, feels there will be a different result the second time around.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI feel very confident in this rematch with Usman,\u201d Covington told The Daily Wire. \u201cI know what he brings to the table, I know the fighter he is. I\u2019ve been in there for 25 minutes with him before. I\u2019m going to bring a completely different game plan to this fight. I have new coaches, a new team surrounding me, new energy. I have a newfound love for the sport.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Usman is 19-1 and won the belt after beating Tyron Woodley in March 2019, before defending the belt against Covington.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cAs an American, when you face a little adversity in life you have two ways you can go \u2014 you can get stronger from it or you can get weaker. And I feel like I\u2019ve got a lot stronger from that loss. I don\u2019t really consider it a loss because there were a lot of bad calls and bad <\/span><span>refereeing<\/span><span>. It felt like I was fighting two on one [that] night. I\u2019m a better fighter and I feel like he\u2019s not going to be able to stop my pace.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cMomentum is big in sports. You lose the momentum, you can lose the competition. I feel completely different now. I feel like it doesn\u2019t matter what he brings to the table. I\u2019m going to get my hand raised and I\u2019m willing to go to hell and back to get it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Covington has gained notoriety within the UFC for his support of former President Donald Trump \u2014 he even received a congratulatory phone call from the former president after defeating Tyron Woodley in September 2020.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt was surreal. It was my career defining moment,\u201d Covington said on Candace. \u201cTo have someone who I admire so much, who\u2019s a hero to me \u2014 and my idol \u2014 saying how big of a fan he is of me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhen you support the Trump family, they really show their support for you. God bless the Trumps\u2019, thank you for everything they\u2019ve done for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Covington is 16-2 and is the former UFC interim welterweight champion.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s been in the works for a couple months,\u201d Covington told The Daily Wire. \u201cI\u2019m going to get that strap and bring it back for America, for all first responders, all the Trump supporters, and the Republicans out there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Daily Wire members can watch Covington\u2019s full interview on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/show\/candace\">Candace<\/a> Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p><i>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
