Khamzat Chimaev has been making waves in the UFC and he wants to fight everybody. Colby Covington has become the next target of his and the Swedish fighter sent him a spine-chilling warning.
To be fair, Khamzat Chimaev wants to fight everybody including current UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman. If anything, he already considers himself the champion at welterweight.
“I’m already the champ,” Chimaev said to reporters, including The Mac Life, at the UFC 273 media day. “That guy [Usman] doesn’t want to fight me. He goes out to do the surgery and then he wants to go do the boxing somewhere. He can fix his arm and then go do the boxing, I don’t know. The other guy [Leon Edwards], he didn’t fight somebody in the top 10.
“They always find some excuse. I am already the champ. People know that.”
Khamzat Chimaev doesn't even think that anyone is interested in the fight between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards. The UFC welterweight was asked if he thought anyone was interested in the fight.
“I don’t think so. Dana White wants to make that fight. Leon Edwards, nobody knows that guy and Usman, he’s the same. Nobody wants to see that guy. Everybody wants to see me there and smash them both. If they give me both guys the same night, I’m going to smash them both.”
Colby Covington was brought up at the UFC 273 press event and the Swedish fighter did not disappoint. Khamzat Chimaev even suggested Dana White would go to jail if he tried to book the fight.
“I will be happy if they do that [fight with Colby Covington] but I don’t think so,” he said. “That guy [doesn’t] want to fight me. He’s going to go to the cops. He’s going to go to the cops, call the cops. Dana White will be in jail if they make that fight. He talks too much in the media and then when he sees the face-to-face, he goes to the cops. He’s not that guy. To me, if I’m honest, the UFC has to kick him out. He’s a bitch.”
