Covington is ready to move up to lightweight for a title fight with Makhachev
“A return to lightweight? Never say never. But I won’t say I deserve a title shot, although I can get it. The UFC know very well what the business is. They want to attract attention with big names, posters, fights. Maybe it’ll be when I strip McGregor dominantly. Then I’d be happy to meet Makhachev or another fighter who owns the belt,” MMA Fighting quotes Chandler.
