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

[checktheknuckles]

Prime enough to mop the octagon with Colby!

He never will make weight at WW and Colby will never fight at MW.

You keep telling yourself Colby is taking down any version of Khamzat lol he struggled to takedown RDA and was taken down several times. Khamzat takes down any Colby there's ever been in the 1st TD he shoots.

You're right.
Khamzat can't be taken down and will be a 3-weight champ, he's unstoppable & unbeatable by anyone.

Sorry for implying that prime Colby would smother him.

Am I doing it right?

Damn man you keep on with your opinion that Colby is gonna KO Khamzat in the 1st strike bud.

[kkthx]

khamzat will pull out again, what's the point

Covington isnt fighting at 185lbs, Chimaev cant fight in the US and at 170lbs, thats at least 3 reasons not to, Chimaev being in his prime and considerably younger is another reason why Covington would not fight him.

Not happening, i cant see it.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Unless Colby is moving to 185, it isn't happening.

 

[Luckyme]

Not going to happen. Colby is selective and turned down a stylistically easier fight with Ian Garry. Lately, he's only interested in fighting LWs.

What would he fight someone bigger with better wrestling?

 

[CieloLuce]

This is not happening by miles apart.

As we all know, before they ended up booking Chimaev vs Costa, the UFC tried for a long time to get Chimaev vs Covington done. There were some problems with Colby
not wanting to be underneath Makhachev vs Oliveira for starters, and secondly that the co-main event spot not had been planned to span five rounds. Colby delayed the signing,
but got his chance at the WW title around half a year later instead.

After not delivering at all against Leon, Colby has said he would like to try on Chimaev again, still in those same circumstances though:

“In a five-round fight, I would be super intrigued by that fight. And I always told the UFC I want this guy in a main event! I don’t think he can last. His cardio doesn’t look that good.
His last fight he fought Usman at 185 on one weeks’ notice, and I thought Usman won the fight on visuals. The second and third rounds, he was just coasting to a victory. So I think
he’s going to get exposed soon. He doesn’t have good cardio, and he’s not as good as everybody thinks he is.”

According to Lowkick MMA, they have now gotten access to a new Russian interview where Chimaev has said the following:

"The UFC told me my next fight is Covington. They said this time it is certainly happening, so let's see. My desires for this fight? I'm hungry and I want to spill his blood. Just mauling
and smashing, I will go out there and do what I do. I am aiming for another performance bonus, it will be fun!"

LOL, battle of the disappointments and i am a khamzat fan

Khamzat can't fight at 170lbs and Covington is not moving up to 185lbs.

This seems too far fetched to even waste time on.

 

[DrTrouble]

Khamzat has a huge size advantage. Colby has zero wins over current UFC fighters and is older.

Khamzat will smesh him into Bolivian. But this fight almost certainly doesn't happen. Colby doesn't fight larger, younger fighters who are in their primes.

Which larger younger fighter are in their prime has khamzat fought?

 

[dildos]

Colby doesn't shake anybody. Doubt it will happen, but if it does, Khamzat ends it in under three!

yea but canzat shits his panties at any given second.

 

[McGeezle]

Which larger younger fighter are in their prime has khamzat fought?

wtf you talking about? That's not what colby is so why does it matter

 

[mangokush]

Khamzat will duck Colby and pullout like he he did against Diaz & Whittaker

 

[Adamant]

Why not continue on with the Bobby fight?

 

[Dave Poodle]

Why not continue on with the Bobby fight?

Rob's wasted enough camps on unreliable opponents in Costa and Khamzat. Strickland or Imavov are the ones who make sense for him now. Give Khamzat Costa or Cannonier.

 

[ejazahmednit]

Hamza isn't making weight
Its a moot point

 

[Greyscale]

I think Chimaev is going to have a rumored fight record really soon. Like, he pulled out of all of the official fights but he then just met them all underground at the Tournmament of Furry Dragons and SMASHED them all inside 1 minute. Chimaev bless!

 

[Human Bass]

Colby wont fight a better bigger wrestler than him at 185.

 

[CashMoney1991]

fake news, Colby is the ultimate rank squatter, dude should be cut from the organization and Chimaev never fights anymore yawn
