Unbeaten phenom Khamzat Chimaev wants to fight dominant grappler Colby Covington
Khamzat Chimaev's pursuit of UFC gold will take him through the controversial former two-time world title challenger Colby Covington, if the unbeaten Chechen–born superstar gets his wish.
Chimaev has been faultless in his UFC run to date, most recently dispatching popular middleweight Kevin Holland in a hastily-arranged bout which came about after Chimaev somewhat spectacularly missed weight in advance of a proposed contest against Nate Diaz in Las Vegas earlier this month.
His issues on the scales had led some to suspect that Chimaev might continue his career in the 185lbs fold – with the fighter himself fueling this speculation with a tweet last week in which he hinted that he would continue his career at middleweight.
However, the 28-year-old fighter appears to have reversed tack somewhat and has aimed his crosshairs at the controversial UFC firebrand and former welterweight world title contender Covington, with Chimaev issuing a tweet in which he declared that 'Chaos' was the next man in his crosshairs.
