Covington: "Chimaev is a clown, I will send him to the hospital"

Dmitriy Kel Nov. 26, 2021, 4:06 a.m.

Former interim UFC welterweight champion Colby Covington threw out a portion of criticism towards the undefeated prospect of Khamzat Chimaev, and also expressed his readiness to fight with him.

“This guy is a clown. He needs to beat someone worthy, from the top 5 rankings. He has only four fights in the UFC, but journalists love to hype and rush things. If you really want to rush this guy, send him to the hospital and shorten his life - no problem, I'm open to it.

"I love doing business with the UFC and it would be an honor for me to beat whoever they suggest. If they give me him as a rival, then I will stubbornly prepare for this battle and show skills that no one else has seen,” Covington said.
