Neil calls for Covington to be kicked out of the UFC if he doesn't fight Rakhmonov

Alexandr Ormanji Feb. 1, 2024, 11:54 a.m.

UFC welterweight Geoff Neal said: Covington obliged to fight Rakhmonov, and if he doesn’t do this, he should be kicked out of the promotion.

“Yes, Rakhmonov is talented. I recently saw a post about his possible fight with Colby. I don’t know if it can be arranged, but I think Covington needs to fight a rising star. If he doesn’t agree to this fight, then he needs to be kicked out of the UFC, because he’s “clogging” the top of the division. If Shavkat gets the belt, then I think he and I could have a rematch for the title. He’s good,” Neal said.

Just today, information appeared that the UFC is developing a fight between Rakhmonov and Covington, and it could take place at the June tournament in Seattle.
