Cejudo doubts Chimaev can fight at welterweight

Alexandr Ormanji | Published Nov. 3, 2022, 4:56 a.m.

Former UFC two-weight champion Henry Cejudo doubts Khamzat Chimaev will be able to fit into the welterweight limit for the fight with Colby Covington.

“I'm not sure that Chimaev will be able to do 170 pounds. It was surprising when he gained eight pounds over his divisional limit ahead of a fight with a star of Nate Diaz's stature. There can only be two options: either you're just big, or you're afraid."

Recall that earlier Chimaev hinted that he would continue his career in the middle division.
