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

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.
