Athletistic/MMA. American UFC welterweight fighter Colby Covington has spoken about his thoughts on a potential fight with the promotion’s lightweight champion Islam Makhachev.
He said: “Have you seen what this little Australian Volkanovski did to Makhachev? He’s like a little shrimp. But the welterweight division is the best in the world, it’s a real test. It’ll be an interesting story: USA against Russia. You can win a lot of money, but it won’t be a competitive fight. Islam can’t defeat me, he can’t interrupt me. It’s an easy fight for me, like Rocky against Drago. interview with Submission Radio.
In November, Colby Covington is expected to fight for the UFC welterweight title with Leon Edwards. Islam Makhachev, meanwhile, intends to defend his title in October against Charles Oliveira.
