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.
āIt would be aĀ great fight. A fight that Khabib's father neverĀ 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 beĀ the third Rocky movie. Rocky vs Drago, America vs Russia, American wrestling vs Sambo. This is a fight of the highest scale. āIām not going down to lightweight, heās got to go up to welterweight,ā 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.
