Khamzat Chimaev has been calling out anyone and everyone that he possibly can. The UFC welterweight appears to have set his sights on Colby Covington.

The two have gone back and forth before but it appears the beef has become more serious between the UFC welterweights. Colby Covington was asked last week about fighting Khamzat Chimaev.

“He’s a joke,” UFC welterweight Covington told MMAFighting. “He needs to beat someone worthy — someone in the top 5, someone in the top of the rankings, not just fight hand-picked people.” Covington said of Chimaev while speaking with MMA Fighting. “What does he have, four UFC fights? The media loves to rush these kids and these hype jobs. This is fighting, man. People can get seriously hurt from rushing people like that.

“But if you guys want to rush a guy, take some time off of his life and send him for a hospital treatment, then, yeah, the door is open for that. I love doing good business and I love doing business with the UFC. It would be an honor to beat who they want me to beat, and if that’s the name they put in front of me, I can promise you that I’m gonna train extremely hard and I’m gonna show a new skill set the world hasn’t seen yet. You kind of see that from me every fight, I get better every fight. I add new layers to my game, so whoever they try and match me up with next, you’re gonna see those new layers and someone is gonna get seriously hurt.”

Khamzat Chimaev was never going to let that one slide and the UFC welterweight took to Twitter to let Colby Covington know how he felt. He made sure to include pictures too.

The UFC may not be sure about this matchup as Covington could be fighting Jorge Masvidal next. It's currently unclear what the UFC plan to do with Chimaev.
