Khabib: "The rematch with Covington is the toughest fight for Usman at welterweight"

Alexandr Ormanji Aug. 24, 2021, 6:21 a.m.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, former UFC lightweight champion, spoke out about the upcoming rematch of Kamaru Usman and Colby Covington.

"As far as a rematch of Covington and Usman, it's the toughest fight Usman could have at this weight right now. We saw him a week ago - he's well aware of everything. He has a good chance of winning. After a possible win, is it possible to call Usman the greatest welterweight ever? It's tough. A couple or three more defenses - in that case it will be possible," Khabib said.

The fight will take place on November 6 in New York at UFC 268.
