Colby Covington wants Khamzat Chimaev RAF match, on one condition
Colby Covington has handed an ultimatum to Khamzat Chimaev and RAF.
Colby Covington, a rising star in Real American Freestyle (RAF), is seeking a monumental title bout against Khamzat Chimaev. After nearly 18 months of competing in RAF, Covington has claimed a perfect 4-0 record, defeating seasoned opponents such as Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman. Now, Covington aims to make a bigger splash in the UFC world.
Currently, Chimaev boasts a 1-0 record in RAF, showcasing his wrestling prowess. If both fighters remain unbeaten, a potential match would undoubtedly generate massive interest. However, Covington has set a condition for the fight: a strict weight limit of 185 lbs, the same weight class he competes in. The UFC champion refuses to weight-cut to accommodate Chimaev's demands.
Covington remains confident in his ability to deliver the biggest and most desired matchups for his fans.
