Probability:

UFC president Dana White recently opened for a fight between No. 1 ranked Colby Covington and Khamzat Chimaev. The controversial American last fought at UFC 272 in March when he defeated his rival Jorge Masvidal with a five-round unanimous decision.

With his excellent wrestling and great cardio ”Chaos” could be a really tough challenge for Chimaev. On the other hand he lacks the punching power of welterweights like Gilbert Burns and Vicente Luque.

Khamzat’s opinion about fighting Covington then?

“If that guy don’t call the cops and Dana White don’t go to jail, I’d be happy to fight. Come to the fight, I’ll smash his face,” Chimaev said on the UFC 273 post-fight press conference.
