UFC lightweight champion Islam Makhachev shared his opinion on Colby Covington.
"First, let's describe who Colby is - he's a man who can't prove anything with his fights, so he tries to get his mouth out there with his language. He's not talking about fighters who aren't in the top 15 - he's talking about fighters who have already accomplished a lot, and he's one of the masters of the treshtock. He says he doesn't make weight, but that's not true. Everybody races weight. For example, the former UFC welterweight champion, Kamaru Usman, weighs over 90 kilograms, he's huge. And I don't even weigh 86 kilograms. My maximum weight when I train is 82-83 kilograms. I don't get caught up in what Covington said. It's understandable if it was said by a man on the level, but when a man who can't fight properly speaks about me, it doesn't bother me at all."
