Colby Covington makes bold claim about UFC's relationship with Khamzat Chimaev

Khamzat Chimaev has emerged as one of the most popular fighters in the UFC in recent times. While he is often looked at as the future face of the company, Colby Covington has made a rather bold claim about the Chechen's relationship with the leading MMA promotion.

During a recent interview with Brett Okamoto of ESPN MMA, Covington recalled how the UFC was looking to book him against Chimaev following his March 2022 bout against Jorge Masvidal. Furthermore, 'Chaos' slammed 'Borz' for missing weight ahead of his scheduled fight against Nate Diaz, which caused major problems in the lead-up to UFC 279.

Covington said:

"They [Campbell and White]ewere looking at setting up that fight with that mother******, Khamzat Chimaev but he's unprofessional. He's a clown. He's out there laughing when he's missing weight by 10 pounds, making a fool of this publicly traded, beautiful company of the UFC, making a fool."

He added:

"Laughing while you're ruining their main event pay-per-view. So he's not accountable. He's not someone they can trust in that spotlight. They gave him the easiest fight in the division. The soy boy, the washed up Nate Diaz that shouldn't even be fighting anymore. The guy can't even talk straight, he's not even coherent anymore."
