UFC 245: Colby Covington slams referee for loss to Kamaru Usman

Colby Covington appeared to suffer a broken jaw mid-way through the contest, but Kamaru Usman went on to sting him with repeated jabs and dropped him. Covington bounced back to his feet but was in clear trouble as the Nigerian Nightmare swiftly followed up with massive strikes and dropped his bitter rival yet again. This time, Covington failed to make it back to his feet. With Usman raining down a salvo of ground strikes, referee Marc Goddard was quick to step in and wave off the contest with 50 seconds still left on the clock. The definitive finish did not sit well with the former interim champion who decided to take it to Twitter and bash the referee for poor stoppage. Take a look at it here:
