Rakhmonov's manager doubts Covington will want to fight the Kazakh

Sayat Abdrakhmanov, manager of the top UFC welterweight Shavkat Rakhmonov, doubts that the former contender for the organization's championship belt in this division Colby Covington wants to fight with his ward.

“Logically, if the fight is not for the title, then it makes sense to fight Colby Covington – both for the UFC and for us. But Colby is already challenging Wonderboy to a fight, which means he will do everything to avoid a fight with Shavkat,” the functionary said.
