Colby Covington rips Khamzat Chimaev
UFC rising star Khamzat Chimaev has finally got his response to his call out of Colby Covington.
Khamzat Chimaev has been an absolute phenomenon in the UFC and has taken the entire welterweight division by a storm. The fighter from Chechnya fights out of Sweden and is currently the most fan-favorite fighter in the UFC. Chimaev has not been scratched yet in his career let alone losing a fight.
Khamzat, after his latest win against Li Jingliang at UFC 267 went berserk and called out almost everyone in the UFC roster including retired legends. Among his long list of call-outs, Colby Covington got special attention from the “Borz”. In the recent interview with The Schmo, Covington addresses the wild call-outs.
“He needs a couple of ranked wins. A couple of top-ten ranked wins you know. Are any of the guys he’s fought in the UFC, are they even still in the UFC?” said Colby brushing off the spectacular wins of Chimaev. Khamzat has a total of four fights in the UFC and has won all of them by finishes. This doesn’t impress the recent title-contender though.
Colby Covington asks Khamzat to earn his way to the top
Colby is coming off a title fight loss against the number one pound-for-pound champion Kamaru Usman at UFC 268. Despite the unanimous decision defeat, Covington is still ranked at #1 in the welterweight charts. Meanwhile, Khamzat has just entered the ranking charts and is placed at #11 after his win at UFC 267.
“Chaos” insists Chimaev earn his way up the rankings before he calls out a fighter like Covington. “Let us start beating some top-level real competition and then we can start talking about beating the best fighter in the entire world. So he earns his way up, then he will get his ass spanked and kicked right back to the bottom,” said Colby replying to Khamzat’s call-outs.
How many wins away do you think Khamzat is from a fight with someone like Covington?
