Colby Covington has accused the welterweight champion of using performance-enhancing drugs on multiple occasions. In a recent interview with Kevin Iole for Yahoo! Sports, 'Chaos' said:

“So, we know his name is ‘Marty Juiceman’ now. He’s the CEO of EPO. And, you know, there’s a reason there’s a chemical imbalance. You can see the pimples all over his back, all over his face, you know. Dude, you’re a 36-year-old man. You think you’re gonna have a chemical imbalance in your age, like you’re going through puberty in your mid-30s? So, you know, I do think he s**ks, though. I think he’s a cheater. I would’ve finished him in that first fight if he didn’t get a fake timeout.”

Colby Covington has stated multiple times that he did not suffer a broken jaw during his first fight with Kamaru Usman at UFC 245.

However, MMA journalist Danny Segura recently posted a tweet showing part of the suspension report issued by the Nevada Athletic Commission for 'Chaos' after UFC 245. The report states that Covington did, in fact, suffer a broken jaw and was subsequently suspended.

Colby Covington did suffer a jaw fracture from his first bout against champion Kamaru Usman back at UFC 245 in 2019.

'Chaos' also informed his corner in between rounds during the main event at UFC 245 that his jaw may have been compromised.

"I think I broke my jaw."
