Covington: "Makhachev is not Khabib"

Alexandr Ormanji Sept. 22, 2023, 6:43 a.m.

Colby Covington, a contender for the UFC welterweight champion belt, compared Islam Makhacheva And Khabib Nurmagomedova - current and former lightweight champion of the promotion.

“Makhachev is trying to ride on Khabib’s success and his achievements, but he is far from Khabib - they are different. Khabib was afraid of me, he didn’t want to come to me in the welterweight division. Even his daddy knew it wasn’t smart to move up to welterweight,” Covington said.

Let us remind you that in his next fight, Covington will meet with Leon Edwards.
