Khamzat Chimaev is already hyped about his possible fight against Colby Covington. “Borz” has already given the fans a glimpse of how the poster might look.
Khamzat Chimaev’s stocks are higher than ever following his win against #2 ranked welterweight contender Gilbert Burns. The rising superstar has everyone in the welterweight division on hold as he comes knocking on the doors of top-ranked fighters. The next fighter on the list of Khamzat is another blockbuster fighter, Colby Covington.
Leading up to UFC 273, Dana White suggested that the winner of the Chimaev vs Burns fight would take on Covington in a headliner fight for UFC on ABC. The stage doesn’t get bigger than that for someone like Chimaev. The fighter went to absolute war leaving bloodshed inside the octagon against Burns showing the world his heart to stay in the fight and brawl.
Surprisingly we haven’t heard from Colby since Chimaev’s win but “Borz” won’t rest until he provokes a response from his rival. Earlier today, Chimaev posted a fanmade poster of the Covington vs Chimaev fight that had extraordinary details. On the right side of the poster, Chimaev was accompanied by wolves while Covington on the left was defended by the police force. Khamzat captioned it, “Let’s goooo” showing his enthusiasm.

Khamzat Chimaev says Colby Covington would call the cops if the fight happened
Leading up to the fight at UFC 273, Khamzat was asked about a potential fight against Covington. The fighter took a dig at Covington calling the police over his brawl against Jorge Masvidal at a restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida. “I will be happy if they do that, but I don’t think so, that guy don’t wanna fight me,” said Chimaev on the media day.
“He’s gonna go to the cops, call the cops. Dana White will be in jail if they make that fight. He talk too much in the media and then when he sees face to face, he goes to the cops. He’s not that guy. If I’m being honest, kick him out…this b**ch,” said Khamzat.
Covington is coming off headlining a blockbuster PPV at UFC 272 against his foe, Jorge Masvidal. Covington dominated Masvidal and won the fight via unanimous decision. Now that Chimaev is #3, the probability of fighting Colby is very high.
