UFC welterweight Colby Covington sat down with James Lynch from MMA News and went over several subjects related to the sport. Moreover, he was asked about specific fighters on the UFC’s roster and Covington went off on each and every one of them. One name that came across Covington’s radar was fan-favorite slugger, Nate Diaz. Chiefly, Nate Diaz is on the last fight of his UFC contract and fans have been speculating that he won’t resign with the company. UFC President Dana White has thrown around a lot of potential opponents for Nate Diaz [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nate-diaz/] to fight, including Khamzat Chimaev. Colby Covington [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/colby-covington/] was asked about possibly fighting Diaz and he was extremely confident about the result of that potential clash. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/colby-covington-7.jpg] “I don’t think Nate’s going to fight. He’s only got one fight on his contract so of course he’s not going to accept me on the last fight of his contract. I’ll annihilate that guy.” “I’ll leave for him literally dead, he’ll have nothing left in the tank. I know he wants to get out of his UFC contract so he can go make some money elsewhere. So, there’s no chance either of those guys will fight me.” Also Read: Max Holloway Makes Massive Warzone Announcement Ahead of UFC 269 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-max-holloway-makes-massive-warzone-announcement-ahead-of-ufc-269/] NATE DIAZ SHUTS DOWN KHAMZAT CHIMAEV Speculations about Diaz facing Chimaev [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khamzat-chimaev/] were bubbling to the surface until Nate Diaz shut down all the rumors. He spoke to TMZ Sports and said that he wasn’t interested in facing a ‘rookie’ as the last UFC fight on his existing contract. “They’re coming at me with (Chimaev) and I’m like, ‘Hold on, don’t disrespect me like that, trying to offer me a fight with a rookie,’” Diaz said. “I’m cool. You got four fights in the UFC. Don’t even talk my name. … There’s levels to this and I don’t even want to hear his name.” Diaz has looked at a bout against Chimaev as disrespectful considering the disparity in the number of fights both men have. However, Chimaev is currently one of the biggest names in the sport and is definitely someone worth watching out for. Fans will be on the edge of their seat trying to determine who Nate Diaz’s final opponent will be.

<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center">Khamzat Chimaev 2023: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Khamzat Chimaev is a rising UFC star. 'Borz' made his presence felt in the UFC's welterweight and middleweight division ever since his UFC debut in July 2020 at Fight Island. The Russian-born 29-year-old fighter currently finds himself at #4 in the UFC's welterweight rankings.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Khamzat Chimaev Career Highlights</span></h2>
'<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/khamzat-chimaev/">Borz</a>' made his smacking Octagon debut against John Phillips at UFC Fight Island 1. Khamzat Chimaev's UFC career started with a second-round win that saw him grab the Performance of the Night bonus.

Afterward, he took a fight on short notice and became a viral sensation and one of the best talents to come out from the initial Fight Island cards. Khamzat Chimaev's weight <a href="https://www.dazn.com/en-IN/news/mma/ufc-fight-night-khamzat-chimaev-wins-two-fights-in-ten-days-in-different-weight-classes/1i1dmavd1f9fl16u2yj8aq1odd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">class</a> was the talk of the town during his Fight Island stint.

Subsequently, the Russian-born MMA star set a record for one of the fastest <a href="https://www.ufc.com/news/fastest-turnarounds-ufc-history-godinez-chimaev-figueiredo-strickland-holland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turnarounds</a> and fought three times in a span of fewer than 70 days. He defeated Rhys McKee and Gerald Meerschaert in his next two Octagon appearances.

(Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC)[/caption]

The viral sensation became a threat in both the welterweight and middleweight divisions after his spectacular performances. The UFC and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dana-white/">Dana White</a> were so high about him that they booked him against welterweight contender <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/leon-edwards/">Leon Edwards</a>. However, as Chimaev faced some medical <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-khamzat-chimaev-reveals-he-had-surgery-to-combat-covid-19-symptoms/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">issues</a>, he did not compete for around a year.

After a long layoff, Chimaev returned to the octagon against the #11 <a href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ranked</a> UFC welterweight contender Li Jingliang. K<span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">hamzat Chimaev vs Li Jingliang</span> took place on October 30, 2021, at UFC 267. 'Borz' put on a definitive performance and stamped his return with yet another first-round finish.

Khamzat Chimaev's next fight was against Gilbert Burns. Chimaev secured a decision victory to establish his dominance against an elite opponent. Next, he was going to face <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/nate-diaz/"><strong>Nate Diaz</strong> </a>at UFC 279. However, due to a controversial weight miss, Chimaev ended up facing <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kevin-holland/"><strong>Kevin Holland</strong></a>. The undefeated fighter defeated Holland via a first round submission. Later, 'Borz' move to the middleweight division was announced.
<h2 class="jsx-3677412058" style="text-align: center"><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">What are Khamzat Chimaev's history and background?</span></h2>
The young, vibrant fighter with his wrestling roots uses a grappling-heavy game plan. His double legs have been a treat for the wrestling observers. In addition, the evolved handcuff grips, smooth back takes and heavy pressure from the top make the fighter a relentless force in the UFC.

Furthermore, 'Borz', who trains with a phenomenal striker in UFC light heavyweight Alexander Gustafsson, has fast hands and devastating power.

(Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC)[/caption]

To go with his sound grappling technique and decent hands, he uses forward pressure and ground and pound to take out his opponents. Though 'Borz' has never gone to the judges' scorecard, his training regime has become a legendary <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLsSr569coQ&amp;ab_channel=ChaelSonnen" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tale</a>.

From displaying grappling clinics to securing one-punch KO (K<span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">hamzat Chimaev vs Gerald Meerschaert)</span>, that too in two weight divisions that are 15 lbs apart from each other, 'Borz' is on his way to becoming the next big thing in the UFC.

Khamzat Chimaev's record in his MMA career is <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Khamzat-Chimaev-280021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10-0-0</a>. 'Borz' holds the record for the quickest three-fight win streak in modern UFC history. In each of these three <a class="jsx-2733623271" href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/767755fd74662dbf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fights</a>, he walked away with the 'Performance of the Night' bonus.

'Borz' won the UFC <a href="https://twitter.com/ufc/status/1501624129132191746?s=20&amp;t=WYSDKmZcoXXeFeS6earUXQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debut</a> of the year award for the year 2020. Also, in his return fight, he put on a show and received his fourth consecutive 'Performance of the Night' bonus. Thus, Khamzat Chimaev's UFC record stands at 4-0.

His accomplishments are not limited to UFC. A grappling <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvSeiaLyaps&amp;ab_channel=MMAFocus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">match</a> (Khamzat Chimaev vs Jack Hermansson)?took place at Bulldog Fight Night 9.
