Chimaev named the favorite of the fight Masvidal - Covington

Undefeated Swedish welterweight prospect Khamzat Chimaev shared his thoughts on the fight between Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal.

“I think it will be a great fight. Probably the favorite will be Masvidal, although Colby is also not bad. Let's see. I would say that the chances are 50/50. But in general, I don’t care.

I will fight Burns. I hope that after that I will meet the winner of their pair. Either I or Burns will fight Masvidal or Covington for an interim title," Chimaev said in an interview with the RT Sport MMA YouTube channel.

The fight Covington - Masvidal will headline the UFC 272 show, which will be held on March 5 in Las Vegas.
