Current UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling spoke out about a possible fight between Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev. Sterling doesn't believe in this fight. In his opinion, Covington will not accept a duel with a young, promising, but without a big name Chimaev. Sterling also noted that Khamzat is an excellent wrestler, who is larger than Colby.
“Even though Colby is a really good fighter, he will have to fight a mirror image of himself, except that this reflection has very good submission skills ...”, Aljamain said.
Recall that in his last fight, Chimaev “strangled” Kevin Holland in the first round.
