Islam Makhachev Accepts Colby Covington’s Challenge for $200K Charity Padel or Wrestling Match
Islam Makhachev could have his first wrestling or padel opponent outside the UFC as he accepts Colby Covington's recent charity challenge.
UFC fighter Islam Makhachev has shown interest in accepting Colby Covington's challenge for a charity padel or wrestling match. Covington, a former UFC title contender, proposed the match after noticing Makhachev's recent investment in a padel tennis club. Makhachev, the reigning welterweight champion, accepted Covington's proposal and even offered to increase the charity donation to $200,000.
He also suggested that they could compete in a wrestling match instead. Both fighters seem willing to participate, which could be an exciting addition to the crossover combat sports scene.
