It was regarded as one of the best fights that year and certainly a perfect way to close out the PPV part of 2019 for the UFC. It’s no secret that Colby Covington’s antics have landed him in hot water, whether it was with Dana White, his fellow American Top Team members, or the staff.
In an interview with BJPENN.com Radio, he said that he has the utmost respect for Dan Lambert, but felt that the ‘No trash talk’ rule implemented by him in ATT was the last straw:

Whatever one may think of Colby Covington, there’s no denying his status as one of the top 2-3 Welterweights in the world. He took it to Kamaru Usman as few have before and lost only at the very end.
It’s going to be interesting to see which direction his career goes. Tyron Woodley might be off the table as an opponent following his loss to Gilbert Burns, but luckily for Colby Covington, the Welterweight Division is stacked enough.
