Who will win if Khamzat Chimaev vs Colby Covington ever happens?

Khamzat Chimaev has trolled Colby before, to which ‘Chaos‘ replied by calling the Swede over-hyped. ‘Borz’ is on an impressive winning run with 10 victories. Meanwhile, Covington is coming from a loss after his matchup with the current welterweight champion Kamaru Usman.

Both the welterweights boast impressive track records and have proven their fighting skills. Colby Covington’s cardio is the best in-game, whereas Chimaev is known for his technical fighting.

According to referee John McCarthy, if Khamzat Chimaev is pitted against Colby Covington, the fight can go either way. Colby shouldn’t underestimate Chimaev’s wrestling and fighting prowess. Whereas Khamzat’s lack of fighting experience as compared to Colby can become a disadvantage.
