"I think I can definitely go up to 185 and fight Adesanya. But I don't know if he's going to turn around like that," Covington told Submission Radio.
"He doesn't have a dance partner right now. I mean, some of the guys they're trying to line him up with, it's unoriginal. I beat Usman twice. Usman sucks, dude.
Covington also said that he feels he should have been awarded a victory in his rematch against Kamaru Usman at UFC 268 last November. The 34-year-old lost the bout via a narrow decision. "Everybody knew in Madison Square Garden I won those last three rounds," he said. "It was an easy win for me, easy decision victory. Unanimous. So, why can't I fight Adesanya?"
"I want to give the fans the biggest fight possible. I don't cut weight to go to 170, so I'm not gonna go up to 185 and make it a full-time home, he said.
"But I'm waiting for the big fights to present themselves, and the two biggest fights in my mind, go beat up Adesanya, the guy who just has cardio kickboxing, he's not that good of a fighter, he's not well-rounded, he can't stop my American wrestling.
"Or fight Dustin, the guy who said it's on sight. He wants to come up to my weight class 170, he said this and that, he's supposed to be some pound-for-pound great fighter." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jczls7BRvTcExplore more on these topics:
