So this ?! Wolf Chimaev has already found an opponent from the top of the division?


Despite having a very long break caused by the coronavirus, Wolf Khamzat Chimaev is a very hot topic. On his return to the octagon, he completely demolished Li, whom he did not give him the slightest chance. In addition, he collected only one significant strike during 4 UFC matches, which is truly unprecedented. A match with Edwards was arranged last year, but unfortunately it did not take place. But now it looks like Wolf has caught an even bigger name. Who could he face in February?

“The walk is fake!” insists Aleksandar Rakic

Foreign MMA profiles are spreading the word that Colby Covington vs Khamzat Chimaev will be scheduled for the UFC 271 tournament, which takes place on 12 February. It would be a huge leap for Wolf, of course, because Li was his highest-ranked opponent so far.

“It simply came to our notice then. He didn’t beat anyone worth it. He has to deal with someone from the TOP 5, because winnings over opponents, which the UFC chooses appropriately, do not count. How much did he manage in the UFC? Four matches? Fighter-like media like to push forward and give them hype. But this is a fight. If someone is in a hurry, they can get hurt. But if they want to push him to a duel with me and he wants me to take part of his life and send him to the hospital, then why not, I’m in favor. I like to do business with the UFC. It would be an honor to beat someone they would like to beat me. If he really tells me, I can promise to train extremely hard to move my level to another level. However, I do that in every match. I’m getting better and better. I’m constantly improving, so if someone wants to test it, they can, but I say in advance that it can end very badly, “ warned while some time ago Colby Covington.

“When I say I want to fight everyone, I mean it too. I’m not going to name every fighter in the organization. The BMF belt is mine and so will my UFC title. I heard there will be a tournament in Vegas in March. However, I still have no rivals. Why is it like this?” Chimaev was angry a few days ago.

So we’ll see if the speculation is confirmed and we get a great match that would really test Wolf. For now, it goes through the warriors like a hot knife through butter, but Covington would be an extremely challenging challenge. However, Colby twice flooded the otherwise dominant champion Usman.

  1. Nobody seems to realize how powerful and skilful Chimaev is. He is in a league of his own and he will demolish everybody in welterweight and middleweight division no matter who that fighter is.
    Time will prove this very fast in 2022.
