Rumored Khamzat Chimaev vs Colby Covington in the works for a 5 round fight

[Starman]

Easy win for Covington.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

LOL. Covington wanted to go down in weight if anything. I'll be very surprised if Colby accepts Khamzat at 185.

And if this fight gets scheduled at 170, I'd bet good money on Khamzat missing weight and the fight being cancelled.

and colby getting a title shot for khamzat msising weight

 

[Khaosan]

0% chance Colby accepts.
0% chance Scamzat makes it to the fight.
100% chance any Sherbro would stomp both simultaneously.

 

[StonedLemur]

Who cares about either of these guys at this point though?
Washed Colby against Sick Boy....wow, that's gonna be amazing...zzzzzz

 

[StonedLemur]

0% chance Colby accepts.
0% chance Scamzat makes it to the fight.
100% chance any Sherbro would stomp both simultaneously.

 

[ElLunico]

Zero chance unless Colby is moving up which I doubt

 

[Khaosan]

Whoever made this deserves whatever they want in life.

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

Clearly, this is never going to happen

 

[McGeezle]

Yeah? Colby would be KO'd huh? When has that ever happened previously?

Khamzat couldn't knock out a former lightweight who actually dropped him.

...that's a shame, would have been a fun fight.

Never understood this logic. "He hasn't been KO'd by washed up 38 year old non-wrestlers in Masvidal, Lawler, RDA or Maia, so how would khamzat KO him".

Colby's standup is garbage and he's only effective with it because of the takedown threat. If he tries to wrestle khamzat he will literally get paraded around the cage upside down while khamzat laughs with Dana. So he will be forced to stand with him and be absolutely butchered & put down fast. Even if he doesn't he can't pressure the same without that threat.

And why are you trying to discredit burns by calling him a former lightweight? Whittaker is a former welterweight. Pereira is a former middleweight. Burns also dropped usman & woodley and can actually hurt guys with punches. Colby has literally never rocked anyone with a punch.

Lol that's me from the Woodstock 99 documentary on Netflix.

@Arqueto made that sir.

@Arqueto made that sir.

Ya I saw you on Netflix after you mentioned it previously haha love the gif edit.

 

[skylolow]

Maybe UFC 308 but I just don't see Khamzat fighting at WW ever again and I don't see Colby going MW

People are saying his body is shutting down during training camps. Add in a weight a bigger weight cut and good luck.

[aogiri]

Not happening. Even if it were its a waste of time. Colby looked like shit in the Leon fight. If Colby isn't going to take Ian Why would he take Khamzat lmao.

Just book Khamzat vs Jared or something...

 

[Billthebutcher]

Swedish criminal cleft-lip will no show due to a scratchy throat.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

LOL

Colby fighting a non 40 years old and Khamzat actually making it to the cage is a huge IF.

less than 10% this fight happens even if it gets booked.

 

[richardjohnson]

Do people forget like two years ago when Dana was adamant that he was going to make this fight? Colby didn’t say a word the whole time and then all of a sudden Khamzat was booked against Nate. Colby ducked him clear as day.

 

[Poirierfan]

Fuck both of them, release them and let em go box one another.

 

[Elvis.]

I would love to see this but there are just too many moving parts to put it together

 

[Gabe]

Who cares
