Alexandr Ormanji Dec. 5, 2023, 7:49 a.m.

Colby Covington, a contender for the UFC welterweight championship belt, told how Khamzat Chimaev refused to fight him.

“They wanted to organize our fight with Khamzat Chimaev, but he is a clown, he is unprofessional, and he ran away from me to middleweight. It sucks because it delayed my return for so long... I took every fight they offered, Khamzat Chimaev, Dustin Poirier, other names they mentioned, and I just said yes every time.”

Let us remind you that on December 16, Covington will have to fight with UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards. This fight will take place as part of UFC 296.
