Covington named the condition for the fight with Makhachev

UFC welterweight title contender Colby Covington ready to fight with the champion of the category below Islam Makhachev, but only if the fight takes place at the limit of his division.

“It would be a great fight. A fight that Khabib's father never wanted. Islam talked about moving to the welterweight division, but this never happened. I know Islam talks about this, but will it go its own way?

This would be the third Rocky movie. Rocky vs Drago, America vs Russia, American wrestling vs Sambo. This is a fight of the highest scale. “I’m not going down to lightweight, he’s got to go up to welterweight,” Covington said in an interview with the Full Send Podcast.

Let us remind you that on the night of December 17 at UFC 296 in Las Vegas, Covington will fight with his weight champion Leon Edwards.
