Former UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington has not fought since his last victory against Jorge Masvidal. Since the fight, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the duo. Moreover, duo to an assault, Colby Covington even slammed Masvidal with three lawsuits. However, the former is making the headlines recently for a completely different reason. He reveals that a certain Swedish fighter is afraid of facing him. This revelation has got fans voicing their opinion over social media.

‘Chaos’ has a remarkable record in the UFC with only three losses out of 15 fights. His last defeat was in his fourth UFC fight against Warlley Alves and since then, he has only lost twice to Kamaru Usman. This makes him a formidable opponent and a credible source to comment on other fighters.

Khamzat Chimaev, the Swedish fighter, is known for his fearless attitude and willingness to take on any challenge. He is a rising star in the UFC with an impressive record of nine wins and zero losses. The news about him being afraid of facing Covington has taken some fans by surprise. Meanwhile, Schmo reported Covington could face Belal Muhammad.
